Looks like the LHT is going to be it
Quick question:
Surly's site says cantilever or linear pull brakes. Linear pull brakes are V-brakes right?
If they arent can you put V-brakes on the LHT?
I really dont like canti's and trust my V-brakes more.
Another quick question(sorry so long)
What cranset gearing are most of you LHT owners going with?
Regular MTB cranks would seem to lack in the higher gears but road cranks seem ridiculous.
???
My LHT will have the following braking system on it..
Brakes: Avid Arch Rival (v-brake)
Levers: Avid Speed Dial Ti
Pads: Kool Stop Dual Compound MTB
Boosters: Salsa Arc de Tri-Oomph (silver front & rear)
... and I am currently using the following cranks...
Crank Set: XTR FC-M952-4 Octalink (24/34/46)
Bottom Bracket: XTR BB-M952 Octalink
Hope that helps.
