I need to get lower gears on my and my partners touring bikes, currently have GRX 2x10 cranks (46/30) and front mech and an 11 speed M8000 rear mech.
What is available in 165mm and 170mm with 36/26 chainrings? Nothing niche please, I’m hoping to find them in a bricks and mortar shop in Bogota, Colombia (and also don’t have much money).
M8000 2x11 looks like they would work, any others?
Also we currently have Hope external bottom brackets, is it ok to run them without the internal spacer tube? The one in there at the moment is for road cranks.
Alternatively I could try some kind of cut and shut with a coke can and epoxy to extend it 5mm but I’m not sure it’s worth it.
