Cannondale Black Lightning HELP please
I have recently picked up a 1987 Black Lightning with Sun Tour Edge Parts. The rear cog is a Shimano and seems to worn out. What would be a compatable replacement for this cog and chain ? The wheels seem to be orginals but this cog must not be. Does it have to be older era stuff or will something new fit? Any ideas Thanks, BOB

Edge is a 6-7 speed Accushift (indexed) derailleur.
You can use it non-indexed, of course. Just about any 2-notch Suntour free wheel will work like a champ. If you want to use it indexed, you will need 6-7 speed Accushift shifters, any 4-notched Suntour freewheel, preferably a Suntour AP chain, Accushift rear der cable housing and indexed shift cables, either Accushift or Shimano will work just fine.
