My MUSS

Don't listen to Maurice. He's drunk with bad thoughts. Besides you'll always have the 16 to go back to if you need.

I can't find it either. I saw it somewhere state 25lbs, however, the shipping label said 16.7 lbs. I will bring it by Cycle Works and weigh it.

I just put my Candy C pedals on this morning. Now I just need to get a new cog...

This may be a stupid question, are there different sized cogs? I want to get a 20t, but should I be looking at a certain inner diameter?
 
ok, I still need to figure out the gear ratios on my epic, and find one that feels good.

I will let you know when I order.

ah, our wording got confused. cassettes mount to freeHUB bodies. freewheels thread on in all circumstances.

You need a Cassette cog. or the bottom picture from sean's post

Ok, I will probably start out with the 20t, and if I find it too easy:)rolleyes: ) then I can either purchase an 18 or 19, and maybe reserve the 20 for MD.

Hey, joc, would the suspension fork on Elle's bike fit on my frame?
 
I will try it w/o the suspension for now, but I will keep it in mind.

Would it include helping me install it?
 
Just to confirm... I need the 3/32" splined for the MUSS. Right? :confused:

3/32", splined: 13t, 14t, 15t, 16t, 17t, 18t, 19t, 20t, 21t, 22t

3/32" threaded: 14t, 15t, 16t, 17t, 18t, 19t, 20t, 21t, 22t

1/8" threaded: 14t, 15t, 16t, 17t, 18t, 19t, 20t, 21t, 22t

just buy heythorp's 18T. it's the easiest solution to your pain.

i'm pretty sure you need splined.

i said i might put the 18 on but only out of ease, i have it hear now.... and i said you should do a 19 not a 20

20 will be too easy for you.

I know but just looking at the gear ratio of my Epic, I figured that I mainly use gears in the same ballpark as the 20. If it becomes too easy, than I will go with a smaller cog.

Do I need a special tool to get to the cogs?
 
No, do 19. The SS is lighter, and thus easier to pedal. The geared 20 next to a SS 19 will feel the same, at least.
 
lemme know when you are doing this. btw - i am out for tomorrow's class, and will need to reschedule with john.

Ok, you want to help me, as my signature states....

Oh well. I am trying to decide whether I will bring my MUSS or the epic tomorrow since we are doing brakes and wheel truing.
 
brad-
i just remebered...i have a 19T on my specialized. if you want to give it a "try before you buy" you're more than welcome to. FWIW, there's a 20T on my mary...but that's about an 18T on a 26er. at least according to my super-slueth haybailing (what the f is that by the way) research.
