Just saw this on Oneup site http://www.oneupcomponents.com/products/45t-sprocket-18t

How large can a rear sprocket get!

With a 45T giant cog this is becoming very appearing as I could run a 34T front and have decent high gear.

 

[Minlak]

It Goes to 11!!!!!!



Thanks Jonny Sprockets overnight from Towoomba :hail:

Hey Minlak,
Sweet as.
Why not extra range 11-42?

 

[Ezkaton]

I don't think the 11-42 are available yet.

Won't your blouse tangle in the spokes?

Yeah or worse get snagged on the saddle at the worst time possible.

waiting more and more impatiently for one of the onlines stores to have everything in stock.

 

[moorey]

But seriously, if I was to run a 45t rear, I'd want the get the benefit of higher gearing and run a 38 front minimum.

What about on an electric bike. LMFAO

Only if I undo the buttons to expose my chest.

I don't think the 11-42 are available yet.

The 42t are at least 6 more weeks away apparently and the ispec "b" shifter I wanted is closer to 4 mths away yet. The information I have which is a conglomeration of best guess is close to Christmas start of next year before the full range is easily accessible.

I use a 42t range extender now with a 30t front and hold out on going to the 42 until I absolutely have to. I have been riding to get stronger not just be comfortable. I have been using the 42t less and less and even contemplated going to a 32 front. I have been spending more time around the 16t and find the gap a bit of a jump between spinning to fast and too hard to push. I wanted a new drive train for the Epic in September so decided to get used to this.

You've been trolling :tsk:

 

[Flow-Rider]

You've been trolling :tsk:

It was a good laugh though.

 

[moorey]

It was a good laugh though.

Fuck yeah. They knew I was trolling, but couldn't help feeding me. Who were you (or just a voyeur)?

 

[Flow-Rider]

Just a voyeur, I'm surprised you haven't been band yet. I will have to post something there now.

 

[Ezkaton]

Dang. Looks like I'll be putting up with a bar clamp for the time being.

 

[The Duckmeister]

Rather than forking out for a new shifter when the I-Spec-B version is available, you should just be able to get a conversion cap, as is possible with the 10-sp. versions.

 

[Ezkaton]

So, we got a ride report yet, Minlak?

 

[Minlak]

Ok I know a few of you have been waiting and whilst I cant do the ride report until this evening (riding at 2pm) I can give you some of my first impressions.

Mid Cage Rear Derailleur
Rear Shifter
11 Spd Chain
11-40 Cassette

Set Up :- Usual Shimano except they have changed the High / Low / B-Screws which I liked they have made them allen heads.



As it is designed for 11x there is a mass of room for the cable attachment between the derailleur and sprockets. The 10x stuff came very close to touching if you added a one up ring when in the highest gear.



Shift action:- I am a little disappointed as the shift action itself is a little heavy but the shifts are crisp and accurate. You don't seem to move the shifter very far for it to index either.
Clutch:- Very long throw from off to on there will be a technical reason I am sure this is just an observation.




The actual derailleur looks and feels a little "Plasticy" but I think that's just the much larger clutch cover. I will be riding this afternoon and If I make it back I will give an overview of real world shifting.

(New BB / Grips / Gears / Bearings / Wheels serviced its a lot to go wrong)

 

[Haakon]

They claim a lighter shift action from the previous version. I was looking forward to that - I got sick of it on the 10 speed and went to a Saint shifter for its longer lever...

 

[creaky]

^^ have you got your chain routed correctly between the two jockey wheels ? Probably do but it just looks like it's taking a strang angle between them.
