What is the simplest way to lower the gearing on my touring bike? There are a small number of “road” derailleurs which can handle a mountain crankset, but you’re correct that it’s much easier to find a mountain derailleur. I've proposed an edit to your answer to moderate the claim, but otherwise +1. |

Converting crankset from 28-38-48 to 30-39-53 @mosh: interesting — would you add those as an answer to my question? I don’t want to threadjack yours. :) |

Converting crankset from 28-38-48 to 30-39-53 Sadly it's not quite so simple... :) a key problem I have is that MTB derailleurs are not compatible with my road brifters, and finding a road derailleur which can handle < 50T on the large ring is tricky. |

Is it possible to use road-style brifters with an internal gear hub? It's sounding like the answer is "no"; if nobody else puts that as an answer soon, I'll do so and accept it. |

What is the simplest way to lower the gearing on my touring bike? I think it'd be fine in a flatter part of the world (it was just right in Minneapolis). Even the newer version has a pretty similar setup, though the crankset is smaller to start, making my mod easier: jamisbikes.com/usa/thebikes/pdfs/12_aurora.pdf |

Best practice for patching snakebite pinch flats on skinny tubes This doesn't quite answer your question, but have you considered fatter tires? 23-25mm seems more appropriate for racing than commuting to me. I run 32-35mm for around town on my touring bike, and it came with 28mm. I think I've had one snakebite, and that was obvious abuse. |
