I agree with you that Nitto designed approx 1mm clearance for the hex nut

it does work.
I should have cautioned Leah to look for 'excessive play' in the nut to

I believe the only direct PHL-PIT Amtrak train is the #43 Pennsylvanian
with dep/arr times of 1242 to 1959. The Capitol Limited would be PHL to
DC on NE Regional, changing to the Capitol for DC to PIT. They show 1445

You could also get the 3 Amtrak NE Regionals in Trenton for DC vs going to
PHL on NJ transit, if taking the Capitol to PIT via DC. You can also get
the 43 Pennsylvanian (Pgh-NYC via 30th St Phl) in Trenton instead of going
to PHL.
Alternatively, can take the Capitol to Cumberland, and
I want to use my Sugino XD2 crank with the STOCK Sugino rings with a 9
speed Shimano cassette and 9 speed KMC chain. Currently use it on a 7
speed cassette with a 8 speed KMC chain with no issues.
Does anyone have any experience, positive or negative, on using this crank
with a 9 speed casset

Thanks for the positive advice. I will plan on using my existing XD2 with
9 speeds. I forgot to mention I am using a Deore RD-M591 currently with
the crank and 7 speed casssette.

Does the $80 include 1 shifter & pod (L or R) or a complete pair (L and
R)??? Not clear as to what you meant by 'complete'.

Nice setup. Is the RBW saddlebag a MEDIUM or LARGE, & what is the saddle
height in the picture?? One of the best pics for determine what bag fits

The 2.5 lb weight difference (Fuji vs Sam) is worth 0.2 mph (1lb =12 mph)
and would correct the LIGHTER Fuji time by subtracting 0.2mph to compare to
the Sam, or
Fuji corrected = 11.4 mph Sam = 11.2 mph
The 0.2mph seems insignificant, probably within the statistical variation
