The only deviation from the original spec is the cassette. I bought an 11-32 and the trekking bars of course.

I think I will have to change the full brake system so I am planning on buying some Shimano Deore brakes.

What I am not sure about are the shifters. I want the thumb shifters but I am not sure of the compatibility with my FD and RD. Ideally it would be better/cheaper if I did not need to change them and I just needed to buy shifters.

Any 9 speed shimano shifters should work,either thumbies or the two lever rapidfire things. Are you going to V brakes or staying with the cantis?

You don't have to change the brakes, if you fit flat-bar road levers rather than MTB, although I'd be tempted to go for v-brakes anyway.

I was under the illusion that I would need to move to v brakes so that was my plan.

Any shimano shifter sounds good. Is that for the FD as well.

Cheers

Would these work with my cantis is then
