LHT build tips
Hi all,
LHT 26" 60cm and a brooks flyer are on the way. Butterfly handlebars, a rear rack and toeclipped pedals, v-brakes, Schwalbe marathon Plus,
I would love friction shifters on the downtube in my list have decided against it, please feel free to convince me I should go with it.
My budget for the whole bike (Frame and saddle included, thats €550 gone) is €1500.
My main problems are knowing which parts are suitable for a tour through europe, turkey, india china s.e. asia, and which parts are compatible.
Part Recomendations would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if my stated budget for each part is unrealistic. The other parts such as stems seatposts etc all seem to be pretty self explanatory (if that aint too cocky for a beginner to say)
Complete wheels €150 ish Going to wheel builder seems pricey.
Crankset = Shimano Deore M590 3 x 9-fach
Bottom Bracket = Shimano UN-55, Square taper interface. 68 x 118mm
Front Derailleur = Shimano Sora FD-3503
Rear Derailleur = Shimano XT Schaltwerk RD-M771 (what length would I need?)
Cog or Cassette = Shimano Cassette HG50 9 11-32
Chain = KMC - X9-73 9-fach
Brakes = Shimano LX BR-T670
Brake Levers = Shimano LX BL-T670-B
Shifters = Shimano Deore M590
Ta in advance
