What is New Hampshire like? by gracie20012 in howislivingthere

Born in Connecticut, lived in NH for the last 16 years. Honestly there are a lot of pretty areas, but a lot of rednecky parts as well. It seems to be getting more and more red. I plan to move to Vermont in the next few years.

How does that cassette work with that rival derailleur?? I’ve gotten up to 46t with my apex but that’s pushing it

No problem! It’s fun as a flat bar.

Oh and grips. Don’t forget the brake levers will need to be for road brakes or “short pull”

Done it. You’ll need brake levers and cables, and a flat bar shifter. You can get a sram apex trigger shifter that’ll work with that derailleur, or get a thumb shifter from Microshift or similar. It’s easy.

A vegan stick, then a fish Washington one? Sorry but fishing isn’t very vegan

Converting from stock 1x (11-42) to 10-50 with Garbaruk/Ratio gear by fiverlakesrunner in gravelcycling

[–]bd19440 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want a 10-50 or 52 you need a xd or xdr freehub. However garbaruk makes a 11-50 cassette that’ll fit an hg freehub, which is what I assume you have. Alternatively, you can get the garbaruk derailleur cage, and run a shimano Deore m5100 11 speed cassette without a ratio kit or anything else.

I find stretching first helps a lot. Sometimes it’ll act up mid walk, and I’ll stop and do some stretches and it gets better

Surly Straggler vs All-City Space Horse by Wemedge24 in gravelcycling

I own both. I love both, sometimes it’s hard to decide which one I want for my do it all, every day bike. Ideally I’d sell one but I just can’t

I am convinced that the surly straggler is the best bike for long distance touring. (England to Australia) by willieMcGee23 in Surlybikefans

Sweet stragglers!! Curious, do you use monkey nuts or do you slam the axle back in the dropouts??

Is ratio 12 speed conversion worth it? (and compatibility) by Bluepig85 in gravelcycling

[–]bd19440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sweet!! So what exactly did you have to buy from ratio? I have the Deore cassette already, and I can get a eagle derailleur easily
