I think it’s a 40/24 setup with a 11/32 cassette. This was my first ride in this configuration and it might be too low for me. I spend a lot of time in the top 1/3 of the gear range. The low gears were nice for the hills though.
The housing I’m using I got from Velo Orange. It looks nice. It works. I’m not sure it’s better than Jagwire. I am fighting with the front fender rattling. I suspect I need to put some helicopter tape under the fender stays between the fender and the stays. Driving me nuts. Should have gone for a more expensive stainless fender. These cheaper aluminum ones don’t feel as nice as the Berthouds I had on the Surly. The XTR drivetrain is sweet. It’s my first time running a rapid rise with friction. I like it. I can see why GP is a fan. Looking forward to the Silver Derailleur.
