What's in the box redux - Another blummin' bontrager
- Thread starter slackboy
- Start date
It's a 11-46 cassette, 30 tooth chainring and a SGS rear mech - it's what I had lying around after I upgraded my modern bike to 12 speed.
No problems fitting it to the bonty, the chainring could probably benefit from being a 32 or 34 tooth.
Nothing else planned on the bike, except for for tanwall conti tyres that a friend is bringing across from Germany in a couple of weeks

Ah! I thought some m950 was destined for this one.
Will miss the schwalbes but stoked to see what the tanwalls look like on there.
Ah right - I think thats a bit of a pipedream - XTR chainset are either overpriced, knackered or both.
Just had these delivered today as the price was too good to turn down - to my eyes they look virtually unused
Now looking for a 1" aheadset and matching stem now. Some nice, taller rigid forks will give me more winter options with this bike (and i could run a disc wheel if required
)

It's obviously a spendy option, but if you were to treat the bike to a Chris King Gripnut, or 2nut if you find an old one, you could also order the threadless conversion kit they offer. Or vice-versa, as they also offer a Gripnut kit if you have a nothreadset. I've done this on two bikes now, and it's really nice to have the option of running them either threaded or threadless, without having to repalce/remove the headset cups. Just switch out the top when you switch out forks/stem, and you're good to roll!
