Your ideal light touring setup
I'm building up a bike and would like peoples' opinions and suggestions about parts.
I'm 200lbs (hopefully heading southwards) and will use the bike for randonnees and
light touring. One day I intend to use it to cross the US either supported or unsupported
carrying no more than 30lbs on the back. What, gears, hubs and wheels would you suggest
I'm thinking about the following
Sugino 46-36-26 chainset
Shimano XTR front and rear derailleurs
Shimano 11-32 cassette
Shimano XTR hubs with Velocity Dynad or Mavic MA3 wheels (would White Industries or Paul Wood be worth it?)
Dura Ace bar end shifters
Shimano 600 long reach caliper brakes
