    After reading this I decided to try myself... and ended up carrying the CX bike all the way to the top :pac: No way you could get up there on anything less than a fatbike :eek: - although I've seen MTB tracks ending approx. halfway.

    What kind of gears do they have? I're read somewhere about automatic changing? Can you go up Patrick's hill 100 times on one? :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,224 ✭✭✭alaimacerc


    Last Friday's cycle to Killarney. Between the distance, the wrong turn -- on a road with no turns to take! -- the hellacious hill on the border, and the incessant headwind, was quite the struggle. First time cycling out of the county!

    I had a look at one when I noticed they'd suddenly sprung up around the corner from my FNBS. The control is a continuous shifter with a "more and less hilly" graphic. The gears themselves are an enclosed unit, apparently with a three-speed mechanism inside. Perhaps the first sets some sort of sensitivity or threshold for the gear-shift unit. I could take a couple of snaps if it'd help anyone...

    Interesting. Continuous as in "no clicks"? Does it looks like this?

    That would be quite expensive solution for city bikes (http://www.fallbrooktech.com/cycling/n360)...

    Yes, exactly. Was curious if the "clicks" are just kept internal to the gear unit, or if it's some actually non-linear control. Maybe there's a sensor for speed, chain tension, gradient, or some such?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,520 ✭✭✭Alek


    It does look like they have Nuvinci shifter indeed! Cool, these hubs have very wide and stepless range of gears. Its much wider than the typical 3 speed - 360%.

    Featherbeds%20120315_zpsnfyv2cjk.jpg


    Fair play for heading up there in today's conditions.

    I know that location well. My Dad rented a bog up there and for years we spent many days cutting turf for the winter. While I often detested the turf cutting, even as a 10 or 11 year old I could appreciate the beauty of the place.

    It's a long drop to the drops with that set-up! :eek:

    Long arms. :) Mind you, might see if it's more comfy with the bars an inch or so higher, and/or I tend to actually use the drops more. Might be better in the long run... have a distinctly numb finger after getting back from the whole escapade.

    In the longer run, going up a frame size or two is likely the solution. Cashflow currently argues against that, though.

    Good spot, that's indeed exactly what it is. I think the 3-speed comparison I quoted earlier is misleading, based on a vague similarity with the old S-A type of unit. Not that I remotely understand the technicalities.

    Here's a couple of closeups from a unit in St. Patrick's Street:

    The cutting was the more glamorous bit which was usually done by adults. It was the incessant turning and footing which I hated. At least when it came to bagging it you knew the end was near. And then you could have a bad year and all the hard work was lost, (1981/1982?)

    But the worst part was the bloody midges - I could never cope with them. My brother used to tell me to ignore them. How the fcuk can you ignore midges? They used to drive me insane!


  • Registered Users Posts: 284 ✭✭Puggy


    Sister in law moved to Bunbeg in Donegal. My other half wanted to go up turning turf one day last year. Those bloody midges drove me crazy in less than a minute. They ate half my forehead off, you just can't ingore them.

    The other half does love the smell of a turf fire. Only problem is the bikes are now competing for space in the shed.

    The only solution is a hand rolled cigarette permanently between your teeth. Every time the midges gather you relight it and drive them off. Old Holburn tabacco is probably best.
