the clever way to do things is to arrange your Disraeli gears to that you have 2 convenient double-shifts when you need to change rings. After riding for a couple of years with a really dreadful combination of front and rear I thought about it all quite a lot and changed to a 26-36-48 & 11-13-15-18-21-24-28 combination, which is perfect for me. All my day-to-day riding can be done on the middle chain ring but the double shifts make changing the ring for touring just about perfect. There are effectively 10 unique gearings, and there's a good wide range with reasonable intervals in all the right places. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
