That would be my thought too...
Going the derailleur route sounds a lot more hassle... and can only be done with obsolete componentry... can you not just MTFU and keep it as a single speed? Gears are kind of useless for urban use... and anyway why did you buy a track frame if you wanted gears?

Well, they have settled now....however i've noticed that for the first day or two....when pushing off from stationary the wheel 'moved'. Drive chain pulling and wheel slipping.
(i did actually take this to a bike shop to fix this issue but alas....)
Anyway...the gears were never really bang on aligned....had to have the gear switcher half on for it to change gear.
My real 'fear' is a puncture......because changing the tyre with this system means a totally new 'refit' of the hub.....aligning the tension cable....lots of tools, not a road side job.
ball-ache central.
