Decided to wait for the inline barrel adjusters to arrive. They arrived. Rubber on them was perishing and sticky. FFS. Rage-swapped the derailleur to the Rival one and rage-purchased a 12-28 cassette.
This was the right thing to do. The 11-34 cassette and X7 kit can go on my cargo bike as an upgrade from the 9-speed X0 that’s currently on there, and the X0 can go back on my mtb.
Lashed it all together to get it riding and left things like the cable ends quite long just in case. Then went for a short ride yesterday. It’s much better with drops. First ever ride with brifters. I quite like the SRAM doubletap shifters but I did get a few mis-shifts like I’d read about. The retro Shimano callipers don’t work with those levers, so the Rival ones will go on. Seatpost looks even more shite now, so I’ll have to deal with it.
