Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I was gonna suggest these but they're 9sp not 8sp.

The only reason I noticed was because the compact double installation did not go well, so I had to put this one back on and noticed the light gap when tuning the FD.

With the compact double on a 113mm BB spindle the FD couldn't reach far enough out to shift in to the big ring, and the Q factor ended up somewhere in the 160mm range

Unfortunately I'm not sure if I can actually find a spindle that will make that crank work on this bike, the shortest I can find is 107mm, and I'm pretty sure that's the bottom limit for 68mm BB shell widths.

When I upgraded the Ritchey from 8 speeds to 10, I kept the old chainrings - till TWICE the chain fell between the rings for a second or two. Ordered the 7700 inner chainring that moves it closer to the outer, but then also ordered a new outer. I was AMAZED when I put them on, along with a new cassette, and a new chain, how silent the drivetrain became and how the shifting got even better.

Phil Wood makes them down to 103, which is what I used on the Ritchey, since the 7410 crank takes a 103.

Assuming it's symmetric, that would still only move the chainrings in 5mm. I think that specific crank is a lost cause.

Regarding your comment about going from 8-10 speeds, I have been wondering if I would need to get 11s specific rings for whatever crank I use. Does the inner ring always define the spacing? That would be great if so.

Campy has 102. There's a chance that crank would bottom out on a Campy though.

That's a good point. I have no reason to believe that this is not a JIS taper crank.

I don't know. I know that Shimano said you can run 10 speeds on an 8 speed crankset but you needed the new inner chainring that shifts the teeth close to the outer ring. Since I put on the new rings, I've had zero miss-shifts into the middle of nowhere.

Yeah grits was another culture shock item I experienced in Tx. Also chicken fried steaks. Seems I was constantly saying WTF when I first arrived down there. I still don’t eat grits.

Chain is very worn and the teeth of the chainring no longer mesh with the chain.

I can't figure out how to paste the results. I got three cities within 100 miles of where I live in central Calif. My parents and grandparents are all from Missouri, and I still say "warsh" to clean my clothes, and "tollet" when I use the bathroom.

I need to decide which day to do some messy tyre work. To do:

Move plus bike front tyre to the rear, put new plus bike front tyre on.

Replace rear tyre on double boinger 26er

Replace a spoke on the Raleigh So bummed that I broke the spoke after topping off tubeless goop a couple weeks ago. That tyre was bone dry before the re-up.

Most likely the pay, and riding around at 6 mph on a Saturday in an area where he’s not likely going to expose the service to anyone who might use it.

Yeah, that's Breezewood. Junction of I-70 and the Turnpike. Good stopping place maybe 3 hours out of either Pixburgh or Fluffya.

Earlier in the year, I started supplementing with a vegan, chocolate peanut butter cup protein powder. Last week, I heard about and picked up some oat milk that is readily available and that froths really well (Oatly Full Fat). Today, I mixed the two. zOMG. So. So. Good.
