Trying to decide on drive train for a (first) town n touring rig.

I have various 8-speed components that would be nice to use. Ive also used half-step gearing on a road (2-chainwheel) outfit, and liked it.

Hi Dave

Wow this is the site Ive been looking for. I have a trek y-foil that I am going to build. It’s my first build. I live in a hilly area and am not sure what gearing to use. Looked at triples and compacts, never thought about mountain bike components.

In 85 when writing to bob klein to build a performance al frame I specified halfstep... 13-34, 26-46-50. not since have I seen the discussion of how the industry has made components for thinkers and bikers unavailable easily... gee it was good to see your site, I printed it and will try to get my new wheels up 2 snuff... tony

the klein did the death ride 3X with me on top and I never wanted for a gear... and then I was 40. I’ll do it in a few yrs at 60.

It’s nice to find I’m not alone, gearing can be fun! I tour on a much modified Mk 3 Moulton with a home made Sturmy Archer 3x 7 hub. By doing away with the index levers I can use any combinations I want depending on route and load.

Very useful site. Thanks.

Hi Dave

I’ve seen also your touring pages and the nice pictures youve posted. I know how it feels actually being there and riding on your bike.

I’ve not toured very extensively in Ca except the different century rides I’ve done...

I read with great interest your article about fitting XTR to your road bike. Actually I’m thinking of a similar scenario, and it’s adding drop-down, road-like handlebars to my mountain bike that I use mostly for commuting.

j. tackman – 6/25/03

This is a great paper. I spent quite a little time trying to figure out what would work for me, and the type of riding I do (fairly hilly). Up front, I use a 48, 44, 28, and a 5 speed 12/28 on the back. None duplicated and lots of useable gears!

Thanks!

Doug Truesdell – 14 March 2003

At the end of your discussion, you don’t see the sense of a 26 to 34 step on a cassette. I adhere to that design myself, although not with so much space. I swap out the largest cog on a cassette with the largest available cog that will fit.

The reason is to have a bail-out gear. Your comment about 12% grades is exactly the point. Such grades are rare in most places, but I want to be capable. Also I may be exhausted or riding into a wind plus grade, or temporarily off-roading.

The same principle is used in some truck gearing. In addition to the running gears there is a crawler.

When I was a college student in 67 I rode from Redondo Beach, CA to Fresno, via Oceano, Big Sur, Alameda, Lodi, San Andreas, Groveland, Yosemite Valley, El Portal, Midpines, Chowchilla. I stayed in campgrounds, road side rests, trailer parks, YMCA and with relatives.

Looks great Dave. The banners are not bad; I’ve learned to ignore them. At least you got rid of the pop-ups. I’ll have Jeannie check it out tonight.

Great! Dave, your German links are better than mine – and I live in Germany – and surf daily! I�ll add your link list to my bookmarks.

Probably, I have more links to SF Bay Area ;-)

Very interesting. I had no idea you were so involved with the German language.

Any chance of getting some edited versions of your transcontinental bike trip – maybe monthly installments?
