This should generate a lot of replies. On my classic Corsa I have a 56/44/32t and went with an SRAM 11-34t on the rear with an XT dérailleur. The XT was...

First, the top end: using an 11 instead of 12 on the rear will increase your GI by 9.1%. You'd need to go to a 58 to get the same effect up front. That said,...

Back to the original question. ;-) I have run a 24/39/54 (30T)with a Dura-Ace front derailleur (now claimed to have a 22T capacity) I am now running a 26/39/54...
Hello, I have a 3 year old Bacchetta Giro. When I'm in 3rd gear, the crank hits the metal where the chain threads through (hope you know where I mean). Ideas...
By "3rd gear" I assume you mean "3" on the left hand shifter, which means you are on the large chainring in the front. If you mean that the _crank_ (the arm...
It sounds like I need to adjust the limit screws, since it's the crank hitting the front derailer. I don't see a diagram of limit screws in the bike manual...
here's something to check, or have your bike shop check this I had a problem like this and it took me a long time to figure it out ..... The front derailer may...
Before you adjust the screws (they are on top of the derailer, and you may need slack in the cable to adjust them), try the following: First, there may be...
Tom, Yes, that's the link. I found it to be particularly useful to compare different bikes to help determine how small a granny chainring to choose. I plugged...
John, et al: Interesting to me that you would compare ratio charts between the 'Rex and the Aero. When I moved from my '01 'Rex to my '02 Strada, I found I...
Help! What causes and how do I fix the following problem? On a triple set, when I shift from the largest chainring to the middle chainring, it either seems to ...
Tom, In my case, there is a section of short intense hills that I ride occasionally that kicked my butt on the Aero with stock gears (cadence mid-50's). I had...
Even though the front derailleur has index numbers (1-2-3) it is not an index shift. The position of '2' varies depending on which gear you are in with the...
If the crank is hitting the piece that guides the chain, close your eyes: I had to bend mine just a tad. I was on a brevet when it happened and figured I might...

Perhaps I can be an example for you. I am performance minded, but not anywhere near the intensity of Team Bacchetta. I am a five hour century guy. When I...
