First, I never installed the stock flat bars or levers. I had this conversion in mind before I purchased the bike. I think it worked out well.

Second, the drops are not dirt drop specific. They are FSA Omega compact bars and fit perfect. Still have a lot of control on/off road.

Third, the bike came with a chain tug that doubles as a hanger. I had a 1×9 setup on my ‘cross bike and really liked it. I may go the same route with the 29er.

Thanks. I had a ‘cross bike before, but never raced. I sold it to fund the 29er. I wanted a bike that I could use for bike packing and trails the ‘cross bike couldn’t handle. Add a 1×9 drive train and ‘cross tires and I can race this. 😃
