I don't think stresses on the hub will be an issue. The issues I'd be concerned with are the capacity of the rear derailleur and the chain path around the frame.

Cross chain would be out for sure.But it would be great to have a super granny.I don't think it would be all that hard to setup.I may have to give this a try.

If you read the RD manufacturer's instructions carefully, you will see that the instructions are conservative. You only need an additional 2 links; an inny and an outy. NEVER! run a chain to short for...

I ran a short chain on a DF bike once.I still have the scars to prove it.But if I ran a 24t front and a 42 rear there would be no way around it.I would have to run smaller top gear in front.Not sure I...

The term 'cross chaining' refers to the chain being at too great an angle between cogs so it side binds/rubs. The take up capacity of the derailleur is an entirely different matter.

Ok I see what you mean.I read now it does not work with triple crank.I really don't see why not.Maybe I need to scrap this project before I spend money on it.Any thought s on that?

Chain length and rear derailleur capacity are an old, old topic with recumbents.We always want that low, low gear for climbing and at the same time that high, high gear for bombing down hills at...

I do use dual drive now.Bad hips and older age are forcing me to drastic measures.On one page of the link it shows parts to modify your rd to accommodate the new gear.This may work out in the long...

Catrike Expedition w/FSA crank stock gears except low 24t w/11-36 cassette and Sturmy Archer dual drive.I need to trim some fat and tone up.I'm sure that will help.Gear inch is unknown but great for...

The GI calc at Sheldon Brown yields 12.7 to 167.4 GIs. with your current gearing. That 42t cog would drop you to 10.9. You could, instead, replace your cranks with Mtn Bike cranks and get down to a...

Maybe I need more tone up and less worry about gear inch.I was heading out on long tour and money became an issue.I think I'll ride for a few and see what my old @@s can do with what I have.But lower...

There is something most people are not aware of when calculating the load on a hill. It is a case where larger wheels do actually make a difference. From a torque perspective, the weight you are...

Wow i have to read up on that.But i can see how that works i guess.I knew smaller wheels would climb better but figured that could be fixed with gearing.
View ArticleRe: One Up
It would be good for someone to check my numbers. Here are 2 scenarios: All the gear ratios have been converted to levers. All the radii are provided for each stage.

Very interesting! I really do need to read more on this.Thanks.Where might I find more info on this subject?
View ArticleRe: One Up
I only happened upon it when I decided to give it some in depth analysis. Since, however, a lot of people have said "well of course'... but it is the 1st time I have seen any real distinction between...

I guess that sums it up for sure.Guess my gears will stay the same.When I can take Smith Hill I can ride anywhere.That will be my goal.
