Hey Bill, How do you like the way you've done the bare cable routing not
covered by bar tape at all on the bar end shifter? I'm switching to bar
ends once my Riv order comes in and am trying to decide how I want to route
the cables. I like the way that looks but I'm not sure about how it would
I talked to a guy who crossed the US self contained on an 11-34 9 speed
with IIRC 40t single ring. It seems once you get to a 3:1 range, a bit of
patience walking some hills covers the rest. May try it some day but for
now I'll hang onto my triple.

I tried this about 6 months ago with the Deore crankset on my Devil but the
single-ring bolts I ordered were still too long. Today I ordered some 6mm
bolts (mine were more than 8mm) and as soon as I get those, I'm losing a
shifter, cable/housing, a front derailleur and two chainrings! I plan t

I did with this with my "all rounder" bike, a Handsome Devil, about 3 years
ago and have not looked back. With a 36t crank and an 11-36 9 speed

Yeah, the need to get up a few hills is what would keep me from adopting a
1x drivetrain. I really ideally like to have something a little lower than
1:1. Using Sheldon Brown's gear calculator, my current lowest gear is 21.4
gear inches (650Bx38, 175mm crank, 44/28 front 11-34 rear). It may soun

I occasionally see someone on my commute riding what appears to be a 29er
unicycle in heavy traffic, and through the winter too with a studded tire
by the looks of it. So it can't be THAT suicidal ;-)

Looks great! The 1x for a country bike really is an attractive option. I'd
put my Hunqapillar to that except for the need for lower gearing
bikepacking.
