Now back to the original topic.

The brake hoods rubber gripes are all torn off the brake hoods. There are made of soft rubber and will not hold up to the daily use. I really don't care about that. Because I have the Shimano RSX 7x3 shifters being shipped right now. I have also scored a long cage Shimano RSX rear deraileur for the Denali.

I did find out that the cassette is a 7 speed freewheel cassette. Which can be replaced with a 8 or 9 speed freewheel. That would help the top speed of the Denali more so then changing out the crankset. With the Denali stock crankset and cassette the Max speed at 120 Cadence is 32.82 mph. If I put a Shimano RSX 52x42x30 crankset with a 11 tooth cassette on the Denali, then the top speed would be 45.26 mph at 120 Cadence. Plus the standard crankset is way heavier than the Shimano RSX crankset. So thinking that changing that output as well.
