New Crank set and bottom bracket
Just wanted to say I updated my 2008 Fuji Touring Bike crank and bottom bracket to Shimano Deore M591 Crank set with Bottom Bracket (170mm, 48/36/26)
Had a 30/42/52 on there so my hill climbing ability should be a lot better.
I need all the help I can get at age 62 and wanting to tour plus there are some nasty hills where I live.
Just wanted to share.

Hi EZ,
That's a great touring crank. You can easily install a 22t granny gear, just use the 22 chainring listed here;

Shimano sti shifters and sora FD just put a new Deore RD on the back,new shifter cables and housing and about two months a go a new 11-34 cassette and chain so a new drive train.
Just did my clubs rally today and the bike shifts like butter it is sweet and was riding in my bid ring about half the ride did 50.6 miles it was in Morris County,NJ very hilly.-
Haven't ridden in my big ring up front in many years.
