I still haven't managed to put this to much good use, due to various things resulting in not having time to ride much, and then getting really unfit due to the before mentioned not having time to ride much.
I did manage to go fishing on it and I was able to carry everything I wanted + take home my catch, so that was good? I genuinely wasn't sure I'd make it home tho after staying up all night; I knew this already but I will never be able to do any proper long distance audax etc. as I just hate riding on not enough sleep.
I did however get the motivation to sort the gearing out, due actually using my current biggest biggest sprocket on one unexpectedly nasty hill on the way back and automatically trying to shift bigger still as I felt like there should still be an easier gear. (And nearly dropping my chain into the spokes in the process. Apparently I never bothered to adjust my limit screws.)
I found a really cheap derailleur so I can test how well a big cassette works and get something nicer if it's OK.
It will look ugly tho so I bought a Nitto seatpost to make up for it.
