    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. 2×10 was too pricey for me so I went 3X9. check it out in the update in the restoratio projects.
