That being said, just brought this old thing out, tuned it up threw a 1x and an extended cassette on and giving the MTB thing a go. Really been enjoying it.
Can’t help but throw the pic of the road bike in again. Just put a 28 on the back and it just fits (after I let the brakes out a little) but should provide a bit more cush.
Last but not least the TRI rig. Here she is in transition at the sprint I did last weekend. Managed the 3rd fastest bike split out of ~40 and good enough for 5th overall. Thank TR
This is my current kid-hauling set up. It’s a frameset from the last run of All-City cantilever brake Space Horses with some retro bull moose mtb bars and a SRAM NX Eagle drivetrain paired up with a SRAM Force crank from my parts bin. The 50t cog is a godsend for pulling the trailer up hills.
