getting my new bike put together and was wondering if it is possible to build an 11x19 cassette? Didn't find on online....most of my racing is on flats, plus I am running compact cranks and would rather have a straight run from 11-19...can't see a situation anywhere around me in a short race where I would need a 34 x 21. Is it possible to simply stack cogs like this or is there a structural reason that they build the largest cogs welded together.
Second question. I have a litespeed frame that I am having trouble getting rid of. I was considering turning into one of the following....fixed gear with a flip flip hub so it could be used as either a single speed or fixed gear, or a 9 speed single chainring TT bike with kind of a minimalist look (would be used only on flat stuff)....single brake, no front deraileur (well, maybe to avoid Millar's mistake I would leave it on to avoid the chain falling off, etc.) Any thoughts or opinions?
