So i had it out driving.
The ride is nice. The gears arent as good as i would like.
After some testing, i got a used SLX Shadow rear derailur.
That didn't quite do the trick. So i decided to upgrade to a nine speed rear chainwheel set.
I got home, put it on, and tried to place the new chain on the chain rings.... Nope the chain was too narrow.
OK OK i thougt.. Ill just get myself a new set of chain rings then. Why not. most other has been changed...
But NO.
THIS specific set of crank arms(STX-RC 1996), you cannot get a new set of rings to.
Thx goes out to shimano for that.
SO more new gear for the bike.
I thought.. then give me new arms..
Nope. Nothing above Acera would fit.. and that would frankly be criminal.
so instead i got a double chainring SLX set, with one of these hollow cranks.
The SLX M675 double.
NOW it works.
So now all thats left, is to perhaps lower the handlebars a little, and adjust the fork.
