I’m trying to set up my crosscheck to do some touring down in Tassie (down the east coast in May).
Here are the bits I have sitting in the box
Chainsets
Sram 52-39 double 10 speed
Deore LX 44/32/22 triple 9 speed
Cassettes
11-32 9 speed
12-25 9 speed
Front derailleurs
SRAM Force road double
Rear derailleurs
Deore LX long cage 9 speed
Shimano 105 5501 med cage 9 speed
Shimano 105 5600 short cage 9 speed
Brifters
Sora 3x9
Tentative plan
Sora brifters
Deore chainset (swap 44 for new 48) 48/32/22
105 rear derailleur med cage
11-32 cassette
Get new front derailleur.
- Will the med cage fit the 32 tooth rear?
- Will the 48/32/22 work in the front, or will i be happy with the 44?
- Should I toss it all in and start from scratch?
