?. I've done three in the last week. All you need is two chain wrenches. My issue is this, I just finished my X4 build. I'm trying to get Campy syncro to work. Early on I started amassing parts before I received the frame. It had been a long time since I built up an older bike and totally forgot about all the different thread standards and my wheel set ended up with French hubs. The French thread stuff is few and far between.
I'm very close with the syncro but not there yet. I was looking at the Aris and I wanted to try that, I'm playing with the Regina synchro now. Unrelated but something I need to do is change my gearing. Right now I'm running 7sp 13-23 with a 42 little ring which is a little tough on the hills. I already have the French thread freewheel body so I just need the cogs, I'll just buy the freewheel for the cogs.
I'm also reconsidering my chain, maybe that's the issue. I'm running an 8sp SRAM chain. Maybe that's too narrow to get picked up. I just ordered an old Sedisport. I definitely want the new gearing before I fit the new chain.
