Morning all...
Any issues with the parts below for converting my roadrat to 1 * 10?

Going to want some gears for the Dunwich this year...

nope. I'd go kmc chain personally.
11-28 is what I run on my commuter, with a 39t ring. Works fine.
Which one Reggie?
I put my old 9spd stuff on mine with the existing alfine chainset. 11-32 I think on the back and I use them all.
Your setup might be cheaper with an MTB shifter/mech, for some reason the road flat bar shifters seem quite expensive.
I used to run 46 * 11-34t for london commuting and not-too-hilly touring on my hybrid.
Horatio - I noticed the cost of the shifter was high, but overall it equalises out because the rear mech is a lot cheaper.
I'm currently running a Doval narrow-wide but before that it was a Surly stainless ring.
Isn't the pull ratio different between road and mtb once you go 10 speed or is that 11?
+1 if you want more scope to go bigger at the back then an 10spd XT shifter and medium cage SLX mech would be an option. That would open up 11-32 and 11-34 cassettes and beyond.
XT pod - £27

SLX mech - £31

[there may be cheaper prices..]

yes but if the shifter and mech match then it's fine.
So, costs between road and mtb are identical...
I guess the mtb stuff could be re purposed as well.
