Are the grooves for the freehub all equal? That's what I'm looking for. Cassette wise. I can buy new six speed cassettes here, but the don't fit my freehubs.

Remember way back when that was how we transferred files up and down to the mainframe? I used FTP a lot.

It upset me a little when my internet provider revoked our file storage as that’s where I stored all of my pics and some files back before the current messed up storage solutions.

I think the last time I used ftp was 10 or 12 years ago. We use Dropbox for file sharing these days.

But nope. Vistancia. https://goo.gl/maps/rcaXQvErMju9AmaR6

Do you also perform batch processing?

Why do I find File Transfer Protocol more satisfying than Functional Threshold Power? :foo:

12 speed is my favorite configuration in road bikes. Six speed freewheels and cassettes are decidedly not easy to find anymore.

It just feels right. I really prefer a six speed rear to a seven, for no real reason. And frankly, I don't have much experience with five. I have a five speed corncob here, that I've been awaiting the right application for. Whatever I have back there, I never use them all, unless I'm in the US, where they have actual hills. What makes friction shifting preferable to indexed? Same question/same answer.

Edit: Actually, the six speed rear more easily fits into 126 mm dropout spacing as well.

I see.

Understanding the irony re: music from yesterday, I quite like the cycling technology from when I started. Ten speeds on the back, English threading, rim brakes, and everything simple. Except of course, I'd have those feelings about quill stems and nine speeds if I'd started a few years sooner, or pressfit bottom brackets if I'd started a few years later. It's all an illusion.
