But I get the feeling that the hub will be in 4th when the selector is in 3rd.<br /> I'll try it for the way home today. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7597#post-84116 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 14:44:24 +0000 jimiwills 84116@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks for the advice! </p> <p>I'll have a play with the hub, but it doesn't seem to have the same range of movement as the selector... </p> <p>If I put selector in 4th, allow hub to take the chain in, then tighten the slack, I can't actually pull the selector into 1st, only to 2nd. This seems to match the gears OK.</p> <p>Maybe the hub isn't pulling into 4th properly? Or maybe semothing else, I don't know! The top gear I'm getting certainly feels like 4th. If anything I feels like there should be another lower gear, but there's no way the hub is giving me one! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7597#post-84079 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 11:31:32 +0000 chdot 84079@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Welcome</p> <p>"Have only managed to get 3 speeds from the hub so far"</p> <p>4 speeds are notorious for slipping in bottom gear. </p> <p>Don't lose indicator rod - hard to find!

Woohoo! It's a really nice ride and I've not even done any work on it. I'm only 5'8" but actually pretty comfy bike. </p> <p>Dynamo and both lights work, but there's a loose connection somewhere cos they only work intermittently. Originals though.</p> <p>Have only managed to get 3 speeds from the hub so far... need to fiddle I guess.</p> <p>I keep yous all posted how I get on. Rode it to work today... great! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7597#post-77815 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 12:08:05 +0000 SRD 77815@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Often when you guys drool over bikes, I can't really see it. but that one's nice :) uberuce is to blame for my current raleigh infatuation. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7597#post-77814 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 12:00:58 +0000 kaputnik 77814@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@SRD don't tell him how much the other retrobike hipsters will envy him! It would be reasonably straightforward to convert to a flatter bar (moustache would look awesome) if he didn't want to old D-loop drops, which don't have a reputation for extreme comfort. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7597#post-77779 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 09:32:35 +0000 SRD 77779@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Trying to convince Mr SRD that it would be ideal for him :) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7597#post-77774 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 07:54:19 +0000 Claggy Cog 77774@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Looks like it would suit a tall person, it being a large frame, probably about 24".
