Hi,
I want to gear up my '90 Marin Pine Mountain for road use as I might use it for Lands End John o Groats in the summer.
I was thinking of putting something like an 11t - 24t cassette on the back and 52t 42t 30t on the front. The rear hub is a DX m650 7 speed and the cranks are DX M650 with a 110bcd.
The first problem im having is knowing what road bike chainrings will work with a shimano HG cassette. Im struggling to find larger Shimano 'rings with 110 bcd. I've seen some SR Sakae rings and some Campag on the 'bay but I don't know if they'll work with an HG chain or cassette. Just to confuse the situation I cant find the matching cassette for those SR and Campy rings which will fit a DX Hub.
Can someone clarify what I should be looking for (and please dont say a road bike) in respect of matching rings and cassettes? Also, if i get this set up fitted should I be using a short cage rear mech?
