    What is the maximum tooth sprocket you could fit on the back using a Deore DX rear derailleur?

    How? I’ve posted earlier on this thread of how I’m running a 40 tooth cog successfully. I’ve been having the same issues to a degree, and an extension helped me.

    What is the maximum tooth sprocket you could fit on the back using a Deore DX rear derailleur?

    11-40 with an ‘95 LX On my ride today I played around with her. Going up a short steep section I normally do in 22/27 (equivalent to the original gearing) I used 11/40. Worked great. Tonight on the stand I heard some noise. I have the B screw all the way in and it’s marginal. I had bought...

    What is the maximum tooth sprocket you could fit on the back using a Deore DX rear derailleur?

    Rode the bike yesterday. Can’t use the lowest two gears with the 32 and 42 chainrings. Don’t really need to though, see the chart. Running 700x41’s I normally don’t need the 14 and 18 gear inch but any ride from my house has a mile of 20% grade to get home.

    What is the maximum tooth sprocket you could fit on the back using a Deore DX rear derailleur?

    I have a 1995 Trek 950 that came with 22/32/42, 11-28 8 sp LX derailleur. Put an 11-40 and it works well. Can’t cross chain down low even from the middle chainring. Lowest two gears only work on the 22 chainring but it’s not a problem. I’ve ordered a derailleur hanger extension to see if it...

    1993 Trek 970 What to do?

    Be glad to. Do you need images of the small decals too? It will be hard to get a strait on shot of them. Do you need a scale in the image for the size? Who are you going to use for the decals, or are you going to make them? I have a 950 I’m finishing up the mechanicals on and will paint this...

    1993 Trek 970 What to do?

    She’s a hoot to ride! Put 20 miles on her (probably the most she has ever been ridden) with no issues. Really like the bike with the Panaracers on it.

    1993 Trek 970 What to do?

    Thanks, ordered some XT V brakes, they should look a little better. I’ll post some pictures when she’s an 8 speed and done up right.

    1993 Trek 970 What to do?

    Found a nice 970 last week. The good, low miles, luged steel frame, 1-1/8” threadless, cool bike. Not so good, Kenda 26x1.95 tires, sponge seat, Orgin8 V brakes, Acera 3x8 shifters and brakes. I think it came from the LBS like this. I threw a 8 sp wheel set from my 950 on it for the picture...

    Ted Wojcik Question

    Went and looked at her today. Very nice bike. Good shape, cosmetically a little rough. Seat tube was 48, top tube 52. Little strange but it’s a custom bike. Wasn’t going to fit me. Owner had recently acquired it and didn’t have any history. I did find out it’s a mid 80’s from a google...
