Campy Record Cassette?

[H. M. Leary]

This is a loaded question:

Any recommended range for an olde farte??? I have a 53 - 39 - 27 crankset.

I remember from the days of my youth that Granny was always very helpful.

Are you looking for "lower" gearing? If so, you could replace your 27t "granny" gear with as low as
a 24t. If you're looking for cassette, you don't say what speed you have - 8/9/10, but if 8 or 9 you
could get veloce loose cog 13x28 cassette and if 10 you could just get a 13x29..... "H. M. Leary"

mikie-<< Any recommended range for an olde farte??? I have a 53 - 39 - 27 crankset.

being an olde farte meself..really depends on where you are going to ride. Perhaps a tight cogset
since you have a granny, perhaps a big cogset since you want to climb steep stuff...

I think a 12-25 if 10s and a 12-23 if 9s should be sufficient but YMMV...

Thanks. I ordered the bike with the Record and the 12-25. We¹ll give it a go on my nemeses hill (
17% grade for 1.25 miles) and see what happens.

That was quick. I didn't have a chance to post my suggestion!

That's high. 53 x 12?! 13-26 would have been much better, IMO.

It that is not enough, buy a loose cog 28. Pull the 15 and add the 28. If you have an old 13/26,
pull the 12,13 and add the 28.

Where can you buy a single cog and spacer for a 10 speed Record cassette?

Since we're both from the same area, which hill would that be? Levering Street (the Wall) , part of
the the US Pro Bike race, is a 17% grade but is only about 875 feet in length.

Go west, Richard, go west. ( from your stop at the Perkiomen Trail ), or ride up by the stable at
Ridley Creek State Park

When is school over for you??

Have a great summer.

What can I say??? I am impulsive. 18 of 23 weekends or some such around here with rain, lightening,
etc etc etc.

Had to go shopping! Gotta spend that tax rebate to stimulate the economy. Glad I didn¹t get a
Segway...

Campy does make a 13 - 29, but have only seen it in all Titanium. At $400US it does lighten your
wallet considerably.

The hill at Ridley Creek Park is only about 7/10ths of a mile and maybe 8 or 9%. Can you quote me
the exact name of the street/road/hill you're referring to? I'd love to check it out. I honestly
don't know of any hill that has a 17% grade for over a mile in the entire Delaware Valley area.
School ended yesterday. I'm a free spirit, now.
