Update: bike was found, and is now in Auckland. They searched it in
quarantine, and are delivering it to my buddy's house here.
Tools are theoretically located, and still in Sydney. They said they'll be
in Auckland tomorrow... we'll see.
Thanks everyone for your help. This is truly a global

That's not what SRAM's web site says. They say you need the XX
derailleur which is incompatible with brifters and requires the XX MTB

Regarding friction and 9 speed: I've shifted 9 and 10 speed cassettes,
both stock and home-brew (9 sp), with both down tube and Power Ratchet
friction shifters, on and off road -- no particular problem; I did not
find it any harder than with 7 or 8. Perhaps I have very sensitive and

Glad to hear NZ has such concerns. Wouldn't want the local bikes to be
harmed by an invasive non-native species.

Glad it all seems to be working out. I had a similar experience when
going through customs there, but not as dramatic. They went through
all our luggage looking for the shoes and boots so that they could
sanatize them (the outsides, no smart comments). I guess that is part
of what keeps

Jim,
The Shimano 9 speed 12-36 cassette is already available for around
$55, although not widely yet. It is SLX level and comprised of 9
individual steel cogs, as far as I've beed able to ascert.
I've also had knee issues which is why I prefer to spin at higher
cadences when I can, and the
The Sram barend shifters are compatible with the XX components. If
anyone is interested, I'll have mine up for sale shortly. The shifting
is very smooth and crisp.

Go with some Schwalbes, the big heavy ones Riv sells. I used the 700c
version on a short tour and they worked fine. Fast enough, dependable

FWIW, I've been impressed so far with the 11-32 8 speed SRAM PG-850
cassette. Very wide range, smooth shifting w/ XTR deraileur Silver
bar-ends, solid, and cheap - only $20 at my LBS.
If you're concerned about price, it seems the most affordable option
is to climb slightly easier hills four a

I seem to remember rumors, or perhaps internet banter, about the possibility
