I'm thinking of doing something different with my A2E that's on the way. Has anyone ever done a 10 speed cassette on the rear of thier cuda? The a2E is a 96. I am considering either 1 or 2 X 10 if it's possible.

Wanted to post a response even though this was a few
months back. Upgrading to 10s and double chainrings
should be doable, the dropout spacing is still the same
at 135mm. Of course it won't be inexpensive. Shifter,
rear hub/wheel, cassette, chain, shifters, bottom bracket,
cranks and derailleurs all have to be replaced.
Nine speed would be the bargain as a lot of those rear shifting
part ensembles are being closed out and a 9 speed casstte
would cinch right up on the original wheel.
Good luck!

Thanks Corey, that's actually the route I took. 2x10 was too pricey for me so I went 3X9. check it out in the update in the restoratio projects.
