No, the small gears have spacers built into the casting, larger gears separate spacers.Aye, poor description, I meant apart from the spacers (only considering the small end of the block).
For some reason I thought the outer/internal section was differently machined on the terminal cogs, e.g. something to do with the lock-ring, but no idea why in particular and it’s mostly wrong by the look of it. Looking at pictures online and cogs here the only real difference is the extra stripes/ridges on the outer face (and the part numbers) on the terminating cogs.
As long as cassette nips tight on the freehub you’re good to goGrand – cheers for the heads-up.
Aaaaaaah – enlightenment. I
Aaaaaaah – enlightenment. I had the impression that the final position cog had some magic voodoo shaping on them, and so you needed a specific one, but now looking at my spare 11-28 CS-6800 the only real difference I can see appears to be some striations on the inner part of the upper/outer face (lock-ring friction thingy I guess) – is that about right ?I so i’m knocking up that 13-32 tonight..

Ack – of course, thanks. Should have remembered as I bought an 11-25 last year for the turbo because I couldn’t find the 12-25 second hand/cheaply priced. I was hoping to swap the 12T final and lock ring from it and put it on the 11-32 with a 15T.
All changed now, someone put me on the path to XX-36/40T cassettes and hanger extenders…. 😉

I tried to find a miche cassette, but no local dealer nor even online dealer.Didn’t click the link then ? 😉
Of course checked, but unfortunately, I’m not in Europe now.
And the RRP seems quite high compared to the price I ordered.
50 GBP without delivery fee vs 33GBP including delivery fee. :)Ah apologies, stupid me – assumed in the UK, d’oh… and yes, they’re significantly more expensive than the Shimano cogs alas, but Shimano ratios generally suck* IMO and there aren’t that many (remotely) affordable alternatives.

So finally, I ordered 11/28 cassette.
At least, I won’t need to worry about the quality.Have one and don’t think you’ll be disappointed – light-ish, very slick, very nice and the gaps are pretty good in real terms IME.
Miche also do some other cog
Miche also do some other cog sets that might interest, e.g. a 13-30 and a 12-30, the latter you can get from ChickenCycles in the UK for a decent (for Miche) pricehttp://www.chickencycles.co.uk/index.php?cat=41&ord=2
The 13-30 is a lovely spaced block in 11-speed IMO though, mmmmm….

[quote=700c]PS there’s a really good test of preventative sealants here – some of them are VERY effective: http://www.slowtwitch.com/Products/Things_that_Roll/Tires/Sealant_Test_-_Part_2_4155.html%5B/quote%5DThanks for the link – very interesting. I’ve been using Stans in the past but will definitely give the Bontrager TLR stuff a go in future and might even try a bit in the clinchers.
Spiral cable frame protector
Spiral cable frame protector might be useful search words – there was a review/bi t of chatter about them on here a while back which might help. I ended up getting some Fibrax ones from here…quite impressed thus far.

Just to complicate things – http://www.velominati.com/musings-from-the-v-bunker/in-praise-of-sealant/ argues for use of sealant in tubs. I am not sure I think this is a good idea. If you have latex tubes, the wrong sealant will cause them to perish.Well, choose the right sealant then 😉 Seriously, it’s not rocket science and it’s not like you have to continually do it.
Also, Pete Burgin (RIP) used to refuse to repair any tubs that had sealant in them. Not sure of Gary Brown’s attitude toward sealant.Each to their own, although seems un-necessarily draconian it’s their business. That said, part of the reasoning behind using sealant is to avoid sending them in for repair in the first place, so that may have a bearing on practicality. The other way to do it is to only use sealant in the event of a puncture (seal, re-inflate) although clearly the end result is the same and personally I can’t see a huge amount of benefit.

Yep – but we won’t get joined up thinking until we have a national plan and that ain’t happening any time soon. I was mainly addressing your point “Yes london has spent millions on infrastructure, seen nothing here of trickle down from it.”
ianrobo wrote:But the point
But the point is that traffic rules have to apply nationwide, more cyclists cycle outside of London than in it. We all need the same protections it seems Londoners will have.I never believe in the political theory of trickle down at all. Yes london has spent millions on infrastructure, seen nothing here of trickle down from it.
In the NL or France the same infrastructure can be found across the country not just where the capital is.
Money has gone out nationally but we don’t have a national plan of action – we could argue the amount and number of areas that money has gone to for sure, but the point is it has and so is invariably up to the receiving authority to make sure it’s spent in the manner it was intended or at least in a sensible fashion. If it doesn’t – i’m not entirely sure we could blame ‘London’ (whatever that means) for all the failures.
Superb
Superb 🙂

I think what pastaman might
I think what pastaman might have been saying is that the Cannondale already has a higher top gear than the Kuota. Of course you can go higher but you’re also better off than you were.
