Flat bars now just a placeholder. 44cm nitto noodles incoming. Riv problems: the chain is too short, even with all 116 links and a weedy 40t up front.
Speaking of weedy 40t - anyone care to weigh in on gearing… currently has 40/26 on the front. I think the cassette on the back goes up to 32. Pack rat felt just about right with the same cassette and 46/30 but I have now moved from 650b to 700c. I’m thinking 42/28 may have been a better middle ground. Will I even notice?
Progress…
