Capreo or not Capreo?   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #280 of 665 |
Am getting a Pocket Rocket for myself. Can anyone out there weigh in on the pros
and cons
of upgrading to a Capreo hub and cassette?

The pros, as I understand them, are that this upgrade gets me a top gear in the
117-inch
range (nearly 20 inches higher than the smallest sprocket on a standard
cassette, which has
11-teeth.)

The cons: Add'l cost, and a very limited range of cassette options.

So here's what I want to know: How many of you out there have this hub/cassette
combo,
and do you find that you use the highest gears very often? Can anybody currently
using a
53/11 combo on their 451-size wheel Friday give me their riding impressions?

Thanks!
