My GT LTS retromod thing is sitting in pieces at the moment as I’d decided I didn’t need two very similar, singlespeed bikes and the Rock Shox fork was leaking but I’ve bought one of the cheap Yari forks from wiggle for it and I’m thinking I’d like to rebuild it and chuck some gears on it so it’s a bit different to the Honzo.
There’s Microshi(f)t Advent mini groups (mech, shifter and cassette) on eBay for £115. Read a couple reviews which were mainly positive, said coming from 12s you’d maybe miss the smaller jumps between gears but coming from ss I think that’ll be fine.
There was an SX Eagle group on here but seller isn’t responding, not sure whether SX or Microshit would be better?
Edit: I really can’t get excited about the prospect paying £60-70+ for a 12sp cassette so that’s why I’m considering the Advent 9sp stuff.
