Yes, the niner EBB was crap. I used a blackspire bb tensioner to convert this klunker to a SS a few years ago.Worked fine.

Hold It Now, Hit It

Something's got to give

We'd better get it together.

Every RA post in a nutshell:

He buys good stuff. Bought one of my favorite bikes from me so I had no need to tell him anything. You on the other hand, will not buy a 40t, 42t, 46t, 50t or much else for that matter. The only cog that big will be on the front of your 3x system clanging away with that seized up lefty.

You not having the newest thing isn't the issue. There's a lot of guys on here with older bikes & gear who are cool, and fun to ride with. You're not one of them. Go utilize those 35 years of research to find out why.

I still miss that little widowmaker😁

This was going to be my next step for converting that jake to drops https://www.gevenalle.com/shifters/

oh, being an ass is "subjective" isn't it? One (or more) could perceive you as being an ass for asking so many questions about sh*t you'll never buy. nev·er /ˈnevər/ Learn to pronounce adverb 1. at no time in the past or future; on no occasion; not ever. "he had never owned anything new in his life" synonyms:at no time, not at any time, not ever, not once, on no occasion; literaryne'er "his posts are never coherent" 2. not at all. "he never bought shit" synonyms:not at all, certainly not, not for a moment, not under/in any circumstances, under/in no circumstances, on no account

only you could fail to see the irony in that statement

So you're asking people who did the "research" and actually bought and tested these components to waste their time by telling you what works? Your sweet spot seems to be right around 2004-2005. Stay there.
