      they make a tool to check your rear derailleur hanger to make sure its not bent. usually if its steel or aluminum and not way out of wack you can bend them back straight enough to work just fine..

    Is that an old 26er mountain bike that is V brakes/ cantilever brakes ready only? Also how did you put the brakes for the front tires?

    • @dropped3540
      @dropped3540  3 роки тому +2

      Yeah it came with vbrakes, but they won’t work with sti shifters. Going from a 26in to 700c the cantilever brakes wouldn’t reach the braking surface even with an adapter. I had some long reach road bike brake calipers, and was able to mount them into the fender mount holes. I did have to drill them out just a little wider for the brakes to fit. Thanks for watching

    • @dropped3540
      @dropped3540  3 роки тому +3

      yeah, you should be able to. If your going to convert to 700c wheels, you will have to see what brakes and mounting style you will need to use. If you are keeping the flat handle bars and shifters, v brakes will be fine, but if your converting to drop bars and sti shifters, the pull ratio will be different, so you would need canti or caliper brakes, and pry need a matching rear derailleur. so it is possible. If you have extra parts and time its a fun project. Or just extra money to spend.lol.... Otherwise you may be just as well off looking on facebook market place for a deal on a road bike that is ready to go.. Thanks for watching, and i'm hoping to get the final build video for my conversion up soon.

    No issues with assembly for me ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L but I could see where some might benefit from using an experienced bike assembler/mechanic. I'm an older rider starting back after a 10 year break. This bike exceeds my capabilities and has been easy to get comfortable riding. I'm mostly on easy trails with almost no street riding and have not been disappointed with the performance of the bike. My fitness level is far below what I previously rode with and because of that the mileage is going on the bike slowly. While I'm losing weight slowly, the bike seems to tolerate my 220 pounds just fine. The bike has been used by several family members ranging from 5'5" - 5'9".
