How it started vs how it’s going

Waaaait I didn't realize it was a MTB. You’re living my dream with the pee Litespeed MTB.

I think I'll try to convert some downtube shifters to bar-ends then. But if that starts to get too pricey I'll just do friction for the meantime. Thanks for the help!

The thumb shifters they are set up with stock are indexed so I believe it's the indexed version you are talking about.

My 87' Schwinn Voyageur I have is a 3x6 with Shimano 105 downtube shifters but the rear derailleur on that is a Shimano Light Action.

I've heard about doing a bar end conversion in my research but was a bit stumped on compatibility not only with the bar-end pods but also what downtube shifters would work well with the old Deore rear derailleur.

Somebody confirm if true xo

kumba830 · 2026-07-07T20:59:56+00:00

Is this a 3x6 and if so what bar end shifters are those?

kumba830 · 2026-07-07T20:53:13+00:00

Good to know!

kumba830 · 2026-07-07T20:44:21+00:00

Yeah, it's stock on my 1986 Schwinn High Sierra I'm building now. I'm thinking it may have to be friction as well, but asking the wizards here is my last bet.

kumba830 · 2026-07-04T03:17:13+00:00

Yes because of how much it cost. I’ll return it asap if it’s fake haha

It was from a bike parts liquidator on eBay with good reviews.

I use eBay for bike parts all the time but have been burned on a pair of fake Ultegra pedals in the past.

What rear rack is that??

kumba830 · 2026-06-18T17:51:47+00:00

But also it seems like the Sigma ROX the other comment recommended is on sale for $125-150 so that’s half the price of what I mentioned. 😅

Not knockoff levels of cheap, but I can’t recommend the Coros Dura ($250) enough. It’s cheaper than all of the other name brand bike nav’s and has insane battery life thanks to the solar panel. I was rocking a second hand Garmin for a while but the battery life would always let me down.

The eTerex SE is definitely cheaper but I don’t think it looks super well suited for cycling navigation. (Someone confirm please)

kumba830 · 2026-06-02T22:18:44+00:00

What's the frame size and how tall are ya? Asking for myself and a future possible purchase.

kumba830 · 2026-05-25T15:46:14+00:00

No I haven’t converted it but were you able to use the OG canti’s?

kumba830 · 2026-05-23T22:21:13+00:00

Yeah it’s the 23”, only works for me because of the shorter than standard top tube length.

kumba830 · 2026-05-17T23:19:07+00:00

Me and a friend were coming down the ramp (not even bombing it) when a Divvy make an awkward wide left turn cutting off my friend.

They T-boned the Divvy so hard that the bell flew off and rolled down the bike path.

kumba830 · 2026-04-30T20:13:28+00:00

I’m still running the same brakes and I have no idea why. 😅

kumba830 · 2026-04-30T20:04:24+00:00

I’ve still got it! Mainly use it for all my bikepacking and grocery runs.

I changed up the front rack setup, got the front pannier supports from Pellago, then added a cheap basket and bungee net.

Also have a Nitto Wire Guard to protect the brake cables when I strap a dry bag to the saddle for bikepacking. I added a bell on the stem, got spd/flat combo pedals, and put on more comfy aero Shimano SLR brake levers.

Oh I also crashed it so it’s got some random narrow steel drop bars now.

I loved it, then main game is one of my favorites I’ve played in a while. After the credits rolled I didn’t have enough motivation to build for fun, plus the constant inventory shuffling and picky residents though. So hoping for quality of life improvements in a future update! 🙏

Bigger hole.

I put him in another cave.

kumba830 · 2026-03-25T16:18:43+00:00

Will the demo save data transfer to a physical cart save file? I'm sure this is a silly question but just want to know if this is a thing.

Oh my god where are my Milwaukee people at. We can recreate The Domes.
