And some 2 years later, I decided to put a double chainring upfront on a bike with 126 OLD with an an 8 speed IGH. I remembered this thread, as I too had previously failed to use the Sturmey Archer...

Following up for any future readers. I put 2 layers of Stan's No Tubes tape on, including the inner sidewalls like someone recommended above, and that appears to have solved the problem. I'm...

Ï’ve never seen anything like this. There’s really nothing obviously wrong. I’ve cleaned the rim thoroughly between tapes each time. I even tried tape that only filled the center channel, as well as...

I have both a 90 Trek 930 and a 95 Trek 750. The 750 is a great gravel bike. I checked frame geometry on the more popular modern gravel bikes, and the 90s 700 series have almost identical dimensions....

I totally agree. This is definitely the bike I’m keeping forever and riding when I’m 75. I put a Phil Touring hub up front so the bike will last. A lot of people would disagree, so that’s why I...

To be honest, it works great. Absolute only drawback is weight. Even though I lose a lot of parts, and just need a single 30T chainring up front, I still gain some weight. It's really low...

After riding it, I think it's fine as is. No issue at all with the 6-5 shift under load or at speed. I'm really impressed at how well it all shifts. It's a hair slow between 2 and 3, but is otherwise...

Ran out of characters on that reply. As for the axle nut, that is how I have been adjusting the gap. If I turn the nut even a quarter turn more in, the chain will bind when I shift. If I go a quarter...

Good point. I often think of something made around 1990 as new. 30 years may not be a long time in bike time, but is in grease time.

If I stick with the 6 speed, do you think I could use a chain that will work with the Stronglight 93 chainrings? Sounds like I should just save alot of money and run with a straight Alpha 5000 setup....

That does look like it would work a lot better with bigger cog. I have a 25T, but that’s probably still too small. I’m assume they don’t sell enough of these to make more than 1 size? I’m guessing...
