What do you usually do on the\u00a0weekday after the payday? (Generally, payday is 25th on every month in Japan. ) I know you are excited.
\nMe? I was hectic in the mechanic pit. I don\u2019t remember how many tires I changed yesterday.<\/p>\n

Anyways, today I would like to show you couple\u2019s bikes I worked on. They both ride Surly Cross-Checks, and they wanted us to make the bikes geared.<\/p>\n

These are before I changed some parts.

\nWe changed the rear wheel to 11-speed. I installed a long cage derailleur for a large sprocket. When she rode a rental cycle, she was impressed by Shimano STI, so I installed the same gear shifter system. The new brakes are TRP, mini V-brake.<\/p>\n

\nThis is the husband\u2019s bike. He loves American components, so we chose the SRAM Rival. I also used the same one and I just like the SRAM double tap system. The front chainring is still single, which is easy to maintain. The new hubs are White Industries<\/a>. These are also 11 speed. The new brakes are the Paul Mini Moto<\/a>. This quick release skewer<\/a> is also Paul.<\/p>\n

Cross-Check can do pretty much all! It seems like they really loved the new set-ups, and they rode back to their home in Zushi, which is about 70km (about 43 miles) ride.<\/p>\n

Please come to our shop and tell us what bikes you want, we are happy to help you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":96978,"template":"","tags":[],"better_featured_image":{"id":96978,"alt_text":"","caption":"","description":"","media_type":"image","media_details":{"width":1280,"height":853,"file":"2018\/05\/IMG_5133.jpg","sizes":{"thumbnail":{"file":"IMG_5133-640x427.jpg","width":640,"height":427,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":31600,"source_url":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_5133-640x427.jpg"},"medium":{"file":"IMG_5133-900x600.jpg","width":900,"height":600,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":51721,"source_url":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_5133-900x600.jpg"},"large":{"file":"IMG_5133-1179x786.jpg","width":1179,"height":786,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":77534,"source_url":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_5133-1179x786.jpg"},"post-thumbnail":{"file":"IMG_5133-800x600.jpg","width":800,"height":600,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":47348,"source_url":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_5133-800x600.jpg"}},"image_meta":{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0","keywords":[]},"filesize":196646},"post":96969,"source_url":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_5133.jpg"},"acf":{"online-store-load-items":"https:\/\/global.bluelug.com\/catalogsearch\/result\/?q=surly"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/global\/97002"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/global"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/global"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/96978"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=97002"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=97002"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
