yes T2 is 7 speed, T3 is 8 speed. I just saw on their website that the "T" series (the ones with clutches) are designated as 1x only, it's the "A" series that is for 1x/2x/3x, but they don't have a clutch... I can't see why the "T" models wouldn't work with a double chainring, so long as there...

I only just saw these - ltwoo make mtb rear mechs with a clutch for 7 speeds and up! Posting here as clutch tech is "modern", but might be better in pre-98 as it relates to 7 and 8 speed? Anyone tried them? I think I will order an 8 speed version for my Yates - seems to be standard Shimano cable...

Is it that they just don't want to, or have no idea? I have sometimes just asked for bb-saddle tip, saddle tip to bars, and BB to bars. Only works if a complete bike, but gives a good idea of if I can make it work

Now that's an early 90's paint job if ever there was one!

Wrong is what it is....

They're sealed for a reason...

"modernise" it and go 1x.....

Looking good, but how many bikes can fit in it?

+ biopace!

Too blingy for me, but doesn't seem that expensive compared to high end modern carbon bikes!

wow! nice! that rear reflector clamped directly to the stay made me wince though :eek:

Hard to tell from the pics - depends if the chrome has flaked off, or it it's just rust growth outside the chrome. Need to see what's under the rust, it might be salvageable

yes I was just going to say, looks like the wrong cable routing at the mech, this would explain why you can't shift it anywhere

yes on a frame that small, only used to allow a higher than normal stem position without looking too weird. On larger frames they're used to effectively lower the TT and help keep some stiffness in the frame (the largest steel colnagos are the most well known of these cases)

Why not just polish the alloy parts? You can obtain a finish not far off the shinyness (is that even a word?) of chrome, without the risk of it delaminating
