Hi Jason, Thank you for the parts list, that is really useful. I thought you may be running one of those massive pizza size 11-50T cassettes - I couldn't judge well from the pictures. I'm in some sort of quest trying to find out what is the lowest granny gear people are getting from their Silver double cranksets. It seems that even though most rear derailers are rated at maximum lowest sprocket of 36T or 40T, it is feasible to stretch it up to a 42T. I'm yet to find out whether there's anyone running a 24T chainring with a 45T in the back. I live in a very mountainous area and would like my next build to provide me with a lower granny gear than my current 1x at 30T chainring / 50T cog.
Also, how are you finding the aluminum fenders when riding off-road? Are they noisy? I currently run plastic SKS fenders for my off-road riding but would like to improve on the looks - however I am worried about noise from rocks/gravel hitting the aluminum.
