Thank you for clarifying the facts. Wouldn't it be a lot easier if Google returns could be sorted into 'true' and 'false'?

Further discussion online poor pooed that when I read into it. I called them this week and they are still trading.

Is it a measure of braking capacity for goods vehicles?

I have opted to buy an online cable pull converter from sjs so we can have the XTR mech. I had rigged up the Tiagra mech so it was positioned ok but the pull ratio was still off but I believe that was down to flex on the mech mounting bracket.
Thanks for the help.

That's where I am with it. If such a thing was made the answer would be an out-spaced mech clamp for a braze on mech.

Doesn't appear to be, no. The answer would be to use a road f mech, which I have tried, but that won't swing out far enough.

I have a bike here that needs to be changed to drop bars. It has a XTR 950 front mech and triple cranks and Sora triple sti shifters which are not pull ratio compatible. I have tried a Tiagra 4600 front mech and it doesn't have the sweep range to reach the big chainring (approx 57mm from Centreline ...

Thanks for the replies. I didn't mean to sound like I was a newbie when it came to riding there. I did a huge milage in the time that I spent in Redruth. It was more an enqiry as to whether the supporting infrastructure was there to encourage riding. To me the area is one of the best in the country ...

Child or adult bike makes no difference. It's all about the number of cogs.
Incidentally, if you a running Campag 10 speed the FSA team issue chain sounds like a bag of spanners and won't shift cleanly. No idea why.

Sun Race cassettes will also do the job if you can find them cheaper.

Anyone here a cyclist in the far southwest of Cornwall? I am considering relocating and am interested in just how popular it has become amongst locals and holidaymakers in the intervening years since I left Redruth in 1990. Here in Hampshire it is very popular now. Back in the 80s you barely saw any...
