Yep, a SWAT team will turn up in helicopters with search lights and hold you at gunpoint until it matches.
Just checked: I've currently got a tiagra cassette paired with an ultegra chain. Obviously it does heat up a bit, but I don't think it's likely to burst into flames.
I do carry an fire blanket, just in case.
My weird sense of humour. I just liked the idea that the friction between the different qualities could be dangerous@jefmcg why does it heat up?
I'm thinking of replacing my 9 speed Sora RD with an 11 speed 105 RD and wonder whether it would work with my existing 8 speed chain and 9 speed cassette. I already have a 105 FD although I'm guessing chain width isn't as critical on a FD compared to a RD.[/USER]
@jefmcg why does it heat up?
Higgs Boson. CERN were looking in the wrong placeIt causes a disturbance in the force, which manifests itself as heat in the offending components. Jefmcg is quite right. Had he continued riding, it would have created a time vortex and opened up a worm hole to the other side of the universe. Who knows what could have happened at that point.
You want an 8 speed chain, 9 speed cassette and 11 speed RD? That sounds crazy. Why would you do that?
When the chain and cassette wear out, replace all 3.
Not again. That happened the other day when I tried to ride my bike down to the shops without wearing my helmet.
I just thought it might be due to a rift in space time caused by excessive speed. Warp bubbles are fragile things - you could end up anywhere in the galaxy [Dawes of course].It causes a disturbance in the force, which manifests itself as heat in the offending components.
