You can also get support struts for the Bagman which should do exactly what
you need! I only recently discovered these, I think they're pretty new.

I see your RD is a Microshift R10 Jim. It's total capacity is 39 teeth.
With your current setup of an 11-36 cassette and 34/46 rings the RD is
already at near capacity, 37 teeth. So you'd need a mtb RD with more
capacity to get a lower range, plus a 110/74 BCD crankset. Say even a
24/34/46 cran
Jim, you might try an 11-42 10 speed cassette. 11-46s are also available.
Of course, depending on the capacity of your rear derailleur, you could
wind up needing to replace it. But having said that, I have found that
Shimano RDs are often able to function well beyond their published specs by

I have a clipper triple I'm not using, that might interest you.

Another way to lower your gears without the large cassettes is to use a
94-58 bcd crankset from the early 90’s mtbs. with a 20-34 you have a 15”
gear. XT 737 cranksets are not hard to find at reasonable prices.

I'm largely overlapping with all the sound advice you've already received,
but my votes:
Tires: Continental Race King 2.2" - fast enough on pavement you won't be
bothered, grippy enough on trails for any "XC" type of riding. I also
really like the Rene Herse knobbies, if you want tan wall tha

Nice - I may hit you up! My usual gravel routes are in
Hunterdon/Warren/Sussex - I was up there on Friday riding some great
doubletrack in Stokes State Forest.
On the triple setup - I'll send you some more details when I'm home
tomorrow. I thought I had exact info in a Google spreadsheet, but
@James that Shimano triple option looks great (and possibly affordable),
thanks. Also, if you're not familiar with the gravel/county parks in the
Navesink/Highlands areas, feel free to reach out for some route
suggestions.

@nick: I'd be interested in seeing what a triple looks like just leaving
off the large chainring. I presume it really depends on the triple but I'd
love to find something that looks passable, as it's tricky to find a silver
compact double that doesn't break the bank. The 2 chainrings on a triple
You've got good advice and direction on gearing. I think the Appaloosa
sounds like the perfect bike for the riding you do. Thought I'd chime in
on tires:
Most of my riding sounds similar to yours, with the exception of the mix

Regarding tire choices, you could stick with the Gravelkings SK but in
their widest size, 2.1". I think this is a new offering that didn't use to
exist. Also by Panaracer although branded Ultradynamico are their 29x2.2

My Appaloosa is running 36-24 chainrings on a 110/74BCD crank with an 11-40
cassette. RD is a Shimano GRX 810, only rated by Shimano for a 34t
cassette, but with the B screw most of the way in it copes with the 40t cog
no problem. I generally buy my 110/74 cranks as bare crankarms from Spa

Did you check to see if the crank is already drilled for a triple?

all: huge thanks for giving this some thought.Garth: This is the route that I was thinking (yes, I have the Andel triple on my LHT and have never had an issue with them). I think I have an old XT MTB RD in my parts bin so just need to find a nice looking (silver!) 110/74 BCD crankset on eBay and t
The current small chainring is *34 *not 36, sorry. couldn't figure out how
to edit message. In any case, a 34 is clearly not low enough for me.
