While I'm waiting for converters, adapters, cables, and all other random stuff for my retro build I figured I'll put a granny gear (totally need it cos I'm still in recovery from a broken ankle) on my Tarn to get it ready for SDW.
Get the chain whip on. The cassette is lose. The MTB spacer is missing on the hub body. Easy fix. Get that sorted. Now the gears have never been indexed properly on it. That should be easy to sort out too. No. The derailleur refuses to shift to the lowest gear. Few hours of fiddling with the drivetrain the root cause is found: some idiot (that'd be me) didn't remove the b-link while putting the mech on direct mount hanger. Somehow don't feel like riding today any more.
Anyone in the market for an XL 2017 Genesis Tarn Frameset? 3 steel rigid mtbs is one too many.
