I kind of like how a 52/42t chainset allows such a smooth downshift without disrupting my pedaling, especially when using DT levers. Perhaps the OP might find that the four extra teeth in back, alone, might cure the gearing woes(?). Unless these are the rounder "HP", "SG" or "II" BP rings, I would probably ditch the BioPace myself. Last edited by dddd; 07-05-2020 at 12:35 AM. |

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Shimano-Tou...sAAOSwhBNdvLCa I'm betting that 12-28 freewheel and a 39t inner, small ring, with DT shifters and proper chain length, would work fine. On that Nishiki, you can also move the wheel back if you are having difficulty if the b limit screw is all the way in.

I'm not, no. I just typed 12 where I should've typed 13.
DNP Epoch may make the freewheels with 12t small cogs. They make them with 11s small cogs (require a thin wall tool). Last edited by ColonelJLloyd; 07-05-2020 at 08:40 AM. Reason: u |

SRAM was first to market with their clever 12-32t, 7s cassette that wasn't MegaRange. Shimano promptly copied it! Can't patent gear ratios apparently(?). |

Hi Everyone,
Sorry for going quiet for a while. I needed some time to think over my decision with regard to this bike. So every time I take it for a ride, I get all nostalgic and I think that maybe I should keep it around, and then maybe with a few tweaks, I can get the bike into my regular rotation of bikes (that get ridden). After my fit of nostalgia subsided, I have decided to finally let this one go. It's hard because N-1 is not in my nature, but I need to make room in the garage for something else. Thanks again to the generous forumers who offered to help me with the parts. I really appreciated all the offers and advice. |
