Just bought a Pronghorn LT frame with 6 inches of travel front and rear which I am planning to use as my main bike. This means that unlike my SS 96er and jump bike I will need gears.
I have transferred across most of the kit from my old Scott Strike which was set up mainly for XC using triple front ring and 9 speed rear block. The front triple is fairly worn and needs replacing. The front mech on the Scott was an e-type so not transferable.
I have the choice of replacing the front with a single, double or triple ring. The rear block is currently 9 speed but could be replaced with a 10 if required.
This gives me all the options. Most of the riding is local and not that challenging in terms of up hills but I also want to be able to ride to the top of the South Welsh trail centres and scream down like a hero.
Recommend configuration and kit please.
