More progress: I transplanted the parts from the JJ max. Had to drill the fork to fit the fork mounted cable stop and I’m happy that the cantilevers fit well. Next step is to mount the racks and mudguards. I’ll change the stem to a positive rise 80mm velo orange quill stem to have a more upright position. I normally ride 40-42cm drop bars and The current one is a soma hwy one in 44cm (end to end). Do you reckon it makes sense to change to a 46cm deda piega for better leverage when the bike is loaded? Obvs I won’t be touring on mavic cosmic so they’ll be replaced with the 32h mavic cxp 11s which are currently still at my folks place. Long term plan is to build wheels with a dyno hub.
P.s. recommendations for kind of budget friendly platform pedals are welcome :)
