I notice they have specified a perverse hole pattern. No one's interest is served that way. Not even the manufacturer's, because smart and experienced cyclists will avoid it.

It's the way of the world now, when a 22 year old with a CadCam software can displace an experienced engineer. Hell, we just changed a worn 53t 2009 Campagnolo chainring on a Record carbon crank which entailed _both_ chainrings _and_ the bolt set for the 2011 style which are available, the 2009 being incompatible and unavailable. And Campagnolo is not the worst of it. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

I'm still using my Ritchey Logic 110 mm cranks on almost all my bikes. Ought to be rings available for those for a long time. And, LOL, 8sp Shimano cassettes. Seems like the dark ages now, what with 11sp being de rigeur, except for one bike with a 7sp freewheel which I guess is the darker ages. But it's a 135 mm OLN and thus has almost zero dish- same spokes since 1996 with no breakages so far. Sooner or later... Not a "disc" brake in sight in my house (except that rim brakes are disc brakes). One bike with brifters. No CFRP, no AL or Ti frames. All Brooks saddles of one sort or another. Tan wall tires, polished rims. I'm not keeping up with the times, I guess. What a Luddite! But hey, I do have one of those fancy newfangled ISIS BBs on one of my bikes. Wait, those are 15-20 years old too... |

I also have a DuraAce Triple front derailleur, a rear DuraAce derailleur with short arms (probably 9 speed I would imagine it works the same as the 8), and one of those toothed DuraAce bottom brackets used for triples. If you want them you can get my email from whoever is the moderator here and send me an email. They're yours for the price of shipping. Though these days that's high enough. |

When I was a kid and into cars and motorcycles, I thought it was cool to have exotic stuff, cutting edge stuff, or stuff hardly anybody else had. But I had to rebuild a Weber carburetor one day. Unlike a standard Rochester carb, I had to wait for parts to come in. Then I needed to replace some Fiat piston rings. Same deal - drive 50 miles to the nearest dealer, or wait three or four days. But the engine was apart, so I couldn't drive there. My friends who rode 350 Hondas got parts the same afternoon. My Suzuki had to wait for parts, despite the dealer in town. (Thank God I never bought that used Bridgestone motorcycle.) Eventually I decided exotic stuff was often more trouble than it's worth. I decided not to be an early adopter. I'm still waiting to see if clipless pedals are going to really catch on. ;-) -- - Frank Krygowski |

Shimano HG CS-8, besides SRAM, Suntour and SunRace compatibles, are very available and dirt cheap. It's the standard thing for $400~$600 new bicycles nowadays. Any LBS which services not-quite-pro bicycles will have a stack of them in stock. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |
