[RBW] 3-speed cassette?

Thinking of taking 5 cogs out of an 8 speed cassette and using a pair of the gear-clamps Riv sells to end up with a 3-speed. Something like 16-18-20 or close to that. The idea is that for rail-trail riding I want minimal clutter, but would still use a rear derailer and single shift level. Using

I tried this once to simulate a three speed hub. It didn’t last long for me. The shifting wasn’t great, because the teeth ramps didn’t align, and the overall complexity was as a great as a 1x8, etc. that offered a lot more range. On Tuesday, March 10, 2020, Marty Gierke, Stewartstown PA < martinpg

2020-03-10 Thread Joe Bernard
Eric's right, you're not really simplifying anything by going that route, plus the gear range wouldn't be great. The better plan I think for 1x3 is a single cog in back with spacers or Gear Clamps, a Paul or Shimano tensioner and a triple front with fd. I've done it, you get nice big jumps for u

Re: [RBW] 3-speed cassette?

2020-03-10 Thread Patrick Moore
I don't understand triple rings instead of triple cogs; much easier to shift in back than in front, and besides you get more gear ratio difference per tooth in back than in front. I do agree that, if you are going to use an 8 speed cassette hub, you might as well have 8 cogs even if you don't ofte

I love Rene Herse tires but I would buy a different brand for tubeless. They seem to be more fickle than other brands for tubeless. Maybe the endurance casing is better? 60 psi is very high for 44c, I run my 42c at 40 - 45 psi. That would be the first adjustment I would make, personally. 48

As others have said, that sounds overly complex for simplicity. Grin. More simple options: 1. ride your current cassette and just shift two gears at a time, or far less frequently, whatever works for you to not think about it much. 2. convert to a single speed via ENO hub and chain tensioner. Th
