so, the converters showed up at halfwits, they looked like I thought they would,and I fitted them, so they were too big. I dashed back to halfwits, to pick up the original ones they sent, (even though they didnt match the picture on the website, and what all my trawling the internet told me,)so they fitted perfectly.but the label was wrong.
and the replacement bearings were sent out again, so got the wheel built up
It was too narrow for the frame! Id used the 135 x 12 adapters instead of the 142 x 12
I put the 11-46 cassette on, but it fouled the XT rear mech, so I tried the 11-42 which also hit the rear mech.
I had a cheap goatlink thing off ebay, but it wouldnt bolt on to the mech hanger(hole in wrong place?)
So I put the Zee short cage rear mech on with 11-42 and it worked!!
The 26 inch 55s are on the front, with 27.5 wheel, until I can get something better( may be a long time)
The dropper didnt fit, but I have a new one on the way
So Im out for a test ride, as soon as the wind dies down
Which CEO was that? all of them?
