Drivetrain changes implemented. Successful on all levels: 1) I did all the work myself!; 2) the changes accomplished everything I hoped they would. Here's the summary of what I did:
-- Change bottom bracket from 107 to 113 to shift chain line outboard and provide chain and front derailure clearance for 2.25" rear tire. Check! (This is also how Hunqapillars are built by Rivendell now). -- Swap 11-32 8-speed cassette for 12-36 9-speed cassette to allow for most riding to be done in my middle chainring. Initial tests: Check! Longer rides will reveal more. Thank you all for your help in exploring this! I am excited about these changes.
