Retro 1x bodgery
Posted: Tue Jun 16, 2020 9:41 am
Had a bit of a gearing revamp on the Inbred mullet
Because -
my front rings (old 5 bolt compact) where pretty worn
the front mech has always been a mud magnet
I just like the simplicity of 1x on my other bike
and I was probably a bit bored and like to tinker
Middleburn direct mount 32 NW (they call them TT) ring
SRAM 9 speed 11-34 cassette that was almost new in my spares, remove the 15&17 and add a 16
a 42 tooth expander I had kicking about
New 10 speed chain
Dura ace bar end on SJS cycles mount
Sunrace mech extender
Shorter cage SLX mech
Amazingly it actually seems to work perfectly, long live 9 speed
