I'm actually running an old-school Shimano Deore XT crank from the mid-90s (M737-series). It uses the somewhat forgotten 58/94 5-bolt format of chainring attachment, which unlike the more common 64/104 cranks, allows down to a 29t ring in the "middle" position. I'm running Salsa chainrings on the BWNN in a 30/44 configuration, which, paired with the 11-34 9-speed cassette in the rear, gives me a very practical, usable gear spread.<br /><br />It's my "getto" 2x setup...MGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00377768960221628840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7330667.post-68405784997349078012012-02-23T18:25:54.742-06:002012-02-23T18:25:54.742-06:00Rod...

Perhaps the most awesome bike ever.MGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00377768960221628840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7330667.post-77663564706139220652012-02-23T15:10:16.034-06:002012-02-23T15:10:16.034-06:00So that's what my Fargo Ti would look like wit...So that's what my Fargo Ti would look like with a suspension fork huh?Errinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15871054408733338181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7330667.post-57197412184107682462012-02-23T14:51:27.806-06:002012-02-23T14:51:27.806-06:00I have to ask.

And what kind of crank/chainrings are you running there? Looks pretty trick.RodChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16410073995698141674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7330667.post-39640121816100777932012-02-22T10:15:53.049-06:002012-02-22T10:15:53.049-06:00Thanks Brian.
