So I need some help. I converted my hardtail to a SS and this is what I ran into:
I have really old stuff on this bike, so I have to get new cranks (the old ones don't allow me to take off individual chainrings). I am using a singulator for now, but I can't imagine using that long term.
I am thinking XT cranks, but does anyone know much about the new SLX cranks? How about FSA afterburners? I was thinking about going this route instead of SS specific cranks in case I want to throw them on another bike or go back to gears one day (I can see the abuse coming my way after that statement).
I don't have horizontal dropouts, so Besides White Industrie's Eno hub, what are ways to make this better? Or is that the best way to go?
Thanks for any advise!
