That Wolftooth is interesting and reminiscent of the new Shimano
derailleurs.

Yes, the Goat/Roadlink add that same down-and-back placement that
lets the newer derailers take up chain from a 51t cog. They seem to
have some very good engineers over at Wolf Tooth; the company makes
quite a few very interesting "Problem Solvers", ahem. Good hacks!

Yesterday I ordered a Sunrace 11-40T cassette, a derailer extender thing
and a MicroShift long cage derailer. After that gets here I'll probably
start breaking more spokes on the rear wheel :-)

I'll try to resist the temptation to do low speed wheelies.


Joerg in particular might enjoy their B-Rad system (except that it
won't fit his favorite growler).

I can't because my MTB doesn't even have the space for a single water
bottle of decent size. Even the bike dealer where I bought is said
"WHAT?? How could they now have that?". So I mounted one holder on the
handlebar (I have a bike with a cup holder now!) plus modded the rear
section for some heavy duty longhaul schlepping.
