Surly ECR build; Pt 2; nearly done, a quick test ride...

Waiting on some parts to finish the Surly ECR 29+,  a frame swap over from the drop bar Surly Karate Monkey,
Totally itching to try it out!,  So i fitted the stock 3x9 cranks so i could set up the brakes and rear mech...

Waiting on a 9 speed direct mount front mech to use with this mount that came with the frame...

Rear cable on the ECR runs down under the down tube to the chain stay, so the stock KM (Karate Monkey) cable is tooshort, new cables ordered, in the meantime the answer?, extend it!, using a Sram cable joiner, and a new and longer inner cable....

So with the brake callipers aligned...

I added a few extras...

And as a 1x9 speed it was ready to ride...

Feels nice and will take it along to the local woods tomorrow evening...

More soon...
