Yeah, still on, but I did conaider changing the front two maybe with a new crankset. At the moment it is fine if I just do long distances light, but if I were to load it for full touring I wouldn't be able to climb big hills, pretty certain and I wouldn't say I am the weakest.
I went to a local bike shop and asked them, but all of the technitians in the shop seemed skeptical and basically told me I would need to change the whole groupset, so I just left it for now.
I would love to hear from others as well if they have done it, potentially a crankset change might be the cheapest option that gives the greatest lower gear range, but I am not sure how/if that would work.
Do you use your AWOL to tour with?
