    Not really limited but I try not to exceed five.
    The reason I chose the sliding dropouts is in case I have rear mech issue while touring. Having the ability to continue to ride singlespeed is interesting.

    @Turkish
    Why not ?
    Here's the explanation I got from Jacek:

    The calculation for yours as following:

    • 850 basics
    • 150 sliders
      +100 wishbone
      +150 fork.
      gives 1250 together.

    @MCamb
    Ta!
    Lobos is right.

  • The reason I chose the sliding dropouts is in case I have rear mech issue while touring. Having the ability to continue to ride singlespeed is interesting.

    Doesen't make sense. Get Polydrops instead. Maybe even rockers.

    FWIW I've had a sliding dropout bike in the past. It generally never moves from the original build especially if you have (space for) other bikes. Its ALWAYS better to have more bikes with specific purpose than one with everything unless as I said space constraint.

  • 250 extra for sliders and wishbone seems steep, but if that his price not much you can do. If you want to use DT shifters why not just get bar end shifters?
