Re: These guys sell them as a combo. https://www.ebay.com/itm/SUNRACE-8-11S- ... MD0Hy7Eagw I use this on my old Trek, works fine.

Re: Quick google search, and found this: https://forum.cyclinguk.org/viewtopic.php?t=46476 I guess they are self energising...

Re: I seem to remember reading about these in the 90s. I believe they are some kind of ABS system like on cars. I don't know how it works, or if it works. I guess they weren't a success. Never seen these anywhere.

That's just beautiful. Perfection! But just looking at those gears makes my knees hurt.

Not 100% sure but it looks like an early nineties Shimano Alivio. Heavy and nothing special in their range, but a solid piece of kit that should work faultless for years. But you Alan is worthy of something better looking :D

Re: Just out of curiosity, are these the same as the Vitus mtbs from the same era?

Re: You should be able to calculate them using H and I from the table.

Re: Here is my first attempt of a drop bar mtb. Will be used mainly as a commuter and perhaps some gravel riding. Used the 1991 Trek 6000 frame which I bought a few years back and had been in storage since. Combined with a mixed bag of old parts and some new this is the initial result. Picture...
