Just curious what type of terrain you will be riding if it is all flat or with hills or if you are just an exceptionally powerful rider.
It's presently set up as a 1x9. 50T up front. The cassette is 12-23. I ride very flat desert terrain. I want to change it to a 1x10, 12x23 and switch out my 170 crankarms to 165 (which is a whole 'nuther issue.) The bike in question is a Frankenstein TT setup.
