I'll mention it before someone else does...no need to post the question in several places. Patients is a virtue.

You can get/make longer cables. Several members here use ape hanger bars, a quick look around will tell you who has them.

As for the bolt clearance issues, you can grind down the heads, or as many do, bend your brake arm to clear the bolts.

What is your spoke count? In other words how many spokes does the rear wheel have. Count them. A rim with only 32 spokes will not adapt to the rag joint or an after market sprocket adapter. 36 spokes and you're good to go.

Ape hanger bars will require new cables. Most bicycle stores will carry cables, even Walmart has them.

And please post your question once in one section. Multiple and duplicate posts will be deleted.
Thank you.

I had no issues with the rag joint on a Genesis 29'er. Took a bit of work to assemble it but it fit fine after I forced the last two bolts through (had to fish a bit for the holes) I know it's not supposed to fit, but mine did. No problems so far (been sold several weeks)

You don't want a larger sprocket unless you weigh a lot or need to
climb a lot of hills.

Get the large CB 110 sprocket adapter here and the 40 tooth sprocket combo
off the drop down menu for $67

29"bikes with 48 spokes per wheel requires the large adapter.
