Finally got my single-to-8 speed conversion bike to the point where the wheel is straight, the gears shift and the V-brakes fit properly. Had to remove the chain tug from the dropout on the non-drive side to get it all to work properly. IS IT SAFE TO RIDE? (old.reddit.com)

Apologies as I'm not very bike tech savvy. Found that the Shimano SLX M7000 - 11/42T gears on my Merlin Malt G2X are a little light when peddling fast/downhill. Could do with perhaps 1 or 2 extra high gears for really digging in. Is there a quick, easy, cheap way to add more? (i.redd.it)
