Re: Also notice the cable coating went 'fluffy'. It depends on the climate and abuse I believe. I then to change cable at least once a year (specially the rear one) Another really great solution is Transfil Flying snake. Basically the same as Gore and the new Jag Wige, except they don't use...

They are many option out there, Specialité TA offer many combination of chain ring, like 28t inner (64mm bolt circle), and 38,40,42,... Middle (102mm bolt circle). I use to ride 28t 42t Specialité TA. I just offset the crank (outboard bearing type) to get a better chaine line. Have fun.
