I want to ride the Baja peninsula with this bike. Any suggestions to build the cheapest touring rig around this bike? My lowest gear is 20-28 and i find it ridiculously low., do i actually need lower gears? Also i'm considering changing my grip shifters for thumb shifters, I think they are easier to repair and i like friction shifting better, especially in the front mech
The only bag i own is this framebag
