Well, here's what I'm thinking, to shave some weight off my bike...
- Get last 5 (bigger) sprockets of the cassette removed.
- Already removed granny ring, but also get middle chain ring removed now.
- Remove left-hand-side shifter component (since I would only have the big ring.) Also remove the cable to that deraileur bacause I would only have one ring and don't need to move the deraileur.
- Remove left-hand-side (front break) break and lever, remove the BACK brake and the back brake cable.
Switch the cable so that the right lever controls the FRONT break.
I'm thinking I should do this because I never use the middle chainring or the last 5 cogs in the cassette, I also only use the front break, so there's no need for a back break.
All I need to know is if you guys think this is a good idea or just stupid, or what. Let me know. Thanks.
