if it’s good enough for Lon
My new 3-speed setup on the Surly:
16, 18, 20t cogs on the cassette hub, manual shift. I don’t know how much i’ll end up shifting, but it’s a pretty nice 57-63-71″ gear spread. My usual road gear is 71″, winter & windy day/hill ride the 63, and the 57 for dirt. I’ll give it a few months and see how it works. And i really liked the 8-speed system i had, just in the mood to try something new. The chance to get 3 practically brand-new Surly cogs for 1/2 price also helped.
It’s back in super commuter mode, with the generator hub, the triple/single drivetrain and road tires. I won’t be riding a lot this winter because of the kids’ afterschool and running them around, but this will be nice when the weather warms up a bit too.
I debated doing a full refresh, but decided to leave the fully beausaged bar tape in place - maybe i’ll change it in the spring
