Of course one of my teammates had the 11-13 first two gears on his White Lightning.

I think Steve Bauer used the hub and 11T in the Tour when racing for... Weinmann? White kit, he was TTing in the rain, huge gear (the 11T). Maybe he raced for 7-Eleven and had the white jersey? I forget.

I buy World Cycling Production videos en masse, and I try and buy the ones where I don't really remember what happened. I got that DVD and I was thinking, man, Boonen is simply not there, he's not doing anything, watching riders go up the road.

Then towards the end I realized this was THE Paris Roubaix. I watched it again, this time with his issues in mind. The race seemed much more clear. I think it was one of those things where he was like, please, let this just pass, like crossing your legs. And finally, when he decided to relax (so to speak), he was flying, attacked, tried to bridge, etc etc. The other riders acted pretty professionally, and the camera guys tried to be discrete about it, but it was hard to avoid.

Google "bad peach" and "lemond" and put this in context.

I don't think an 11 tooth freewheel was ever made back in the day. 12s were rare. Most ran a 13-18 6 speed or a 13-21 7 speed.

I'm pretty sure you're right.

I never had a 13-18 though, with the "yeah the cog is smaller than the large flange hub" large cog.
