Still weird the 44 feels bigger but I measured from the top outside to outside.
Oh another question.
So I had a 9 spd cassette on the super teams. I had a spacer behind the cassette. I pulled the 10 spd cassette off the bontrager wheels to put on the super team wheels. I noticed it had a spacer but it was smaller than the spacer behind the 9 spd cassette. This made sense in my mind, the 10 speed is larger so smaller spacer.
Well when I mounted the wheel, it shifted like garbage, while before it was on the bontrager wheels it shifted fine. So I pulled the cassette off and put the 9 spd spacer behind the 10 spd cassette and mounted the wheel. Now it shifted better but not perfect. I adjusted the rear derailer and now it shifts almost perfectly, one cog acts weird 30 percent of the time.
Thoughts on the spacer delima?

is the shifter 10 speed or 9 speed? If you are using a cassette that doesn't match the shifter. The cable pull will be different than what is required for the cassette. By the time you shift 3 or 4 gears you will out enough to make noise.
EDIT. 6 SPEED through 9 speed is 1.7 ratio 10 speed is 1.2 ratio. Per 1mm cable travel 6 to 9 speed moves thexrear derailluer 1.7 mm. 10 speed per 1mm cable movement moves the rear derailluer 1.2mm. You are off .5 mm per shift. That's quite a bit of difference.

They were very easy to install, that was nice as the 5000 TL can be a little tight. I only have 75 miles or so but they roll nice and corner nice, too. So far, I like them but they are pricey.

Since I am thinking about getting a replacement for the Saturn, I have been occasionally looking online at new cars. I am leaning towards getting a civic.
Then I saw the 2023 Civic type R.
Want. But apparently impossible to get.

Where is WhyFi ?

BTW, tagging doesn't seem to work for me. Does it work for anyone?
