I'm planning to go on a ~2 weeks tour in may and I might be taking this bike.
is there something I'm misssing ?
the plan was to buy a sequoia until then but that plan has become a bit uncertain due to some financialy issues.
I'm selling my current kaffenback for additional funding for the sequoia and wanted to build this up as a inbetween bike and later city bike.
it's a diamond back ascent frame with a new steel fork with disc mounts , new headset and bb, a deore 2x 10 crank (may get upgraded because it's pretty old). right now it's 1x 10 slx stuff but I have a xt front deraileur and shifter lying around.
the wheels are entry level non series shimano hubs laced to mavic xm 117 rims. I might set them up tubeless.
I plan on using the pizza rack loaded with paniers and something on top + a giant saddlebag + what ever bags I can accquire until then.
the bb sits quite high so I'll robably add a third water bottle there to be officialy adventrue ready.
the real will get a disc adapter.
I will set evything up properly and test the more adventoures stuff thourogly before going on the 2 weeks trip.
am i missing something ?
