A little late to respond, but I've tried out a 13-34 K cassette with a Deore LX on the stand. Worked fine! :thumb:

Per Sheldon Brown's advice, I usually try remounting the crank 90° or 180° off to rule out BB or taper issues first. Then I don't hesitate to take off the rings and make fine adjustments to the...

I measured a 21g difference between the stock steel (cast iron?) wedge on an 80's SR stem, and the aluminum one on a newer Nitto stem.

You bet! I was so thrilled at the results on my RD, I've sort of become an evangelist for it. :lol:

That's the thing -- with all that chain slack, I'd expect the derailleur cage to be rotated all the way back, and the main body to have moved back a little from its forward-most position... but not...

Nice looking bike, AustinFitz, but why is the rear derailleur cocked backward so far? You'd probably get even nicer shifting by letting out the B screw a bit.

You guys with the "gunky" drivetrains need to spend a little more time wiping off the excess oil after applying. ;) When you've gotten the chain nearly dry to the touch again, it'll pick up a lot...

I like that seller. In lieu of knowing exactly which information was most important, he took a bunch of decent pictures (if all from the NDS), and measured all of the frame tubes. 700x23C tires are...

canklecat, I don't have nearly the experience you folks do, but I find myself preferring a 42T over a 39T as well. You lose a low gear (half a gear?), but you have a little more room to run at the...

You say it pivots smoothly, but I wonder if it would still move freer if opened up, cleaned, and lubed. RJ The Bike Guy has a good video on doing this to a Shimano RD, might be similar for the...
