530 vs 630

[Rob S.]

unless I had every single other thing perfect. I never get that far.

Ain't that the truth? Every bike is a never-ending project.

No, never. I lose interest and sell them, closely followed by buying a different one, or just buy another when I feel like it and then sell the old one I'll miss the least. Always will be buying another one. But I prefer the problem child, the closer to perfect they get, the less interest I have in them. Generally the plan is to buy it for a song, get it safe and reliable, ride it until I'm tired of it, then make it pretty and sell it to someone. Sometimes I just can't get motivated to finish up the last few finishing touches, I'd rather tear into something big on the non runner I bought last night.

I'm trying to slow down and keep them longer, only buy the ones I really want, but it's tough.

Thanks.

Thanks for the info in this post. Learned more reading this than any other thread. Was wondering why I would ever go to a shorter link or moth ball my nylon rear sprocket. All I needed to keep my 630 and nylon set up is a 3/8 front offset sprocket.

Will now be putting the 630 set up in a box and going with 530. Info provided here was much better than the just do it advice I've gotten in the past.
