My winter project was to convert my 1x10 Legolas into a 1x12, mainly enabled by the magic of Ratio Technologies. They sell a replacement 12sp ratchet for my SRAM brifter, converting it from 10 clicks to 12, -AND- they make a replacement cage that converts my SRAM Force road rear derailleur into a unit that will accept a 50 tooth big cog, -AND- had a great sale on chainrings. I had a pair of 28 hole white industries hubs, and a stack of 28 hole Open pro rims, and a White Industries SRAM XD driver all in stock so I built up some wheels to replace my tubular wheelset, and bought a Garbaruk cassette in 10-48. I finally managed to take it on its first long ride today, and posted photos in the February Photos thread. The new drivetrain worked great.
