Ok - i am flying a kite here. I really want to increase the durability of my 11 and 12 speed drivetrain. Like the range, but happy to sacrifice closeness of gear ratios - actually would prefer increased gaps for one of my bikes. thinking 8 or 9 speed. I need to keep the derailleur for the...

Anyone know? You can pedal up hills in a couple gears higher. Wouldn’t they need bigger front rings? Or is it so they can’t go too fast? ;)

So upon reflection these are a few of the dumb things asked / stated / inferred / acted that I can recall from 2013. Note that I have used some poetic licence and summarised a variety of situations. 1. Strava is accurate. Ok so many of you would know this is far from the truth already. But...

Just chasing the main spring for short cage XO rear derailleurs. I figure that X0 to X7 should fit. Model type is the older style 9 speed. I broke one spring on the weekend and had a spare derailleur that I swapped with a mate a few months back when his spring broke. So essentially I now...
