  • dunno. iirc velosolo has extensive info on their website covering the topic op disc hub to fixed cog conversion. i reckon you have 130mm dropouts?
    makes sense that the wider bb would work with gears again, double chainring bbs tend to be wider then those for single ones.

    just check on velosolo the resulting chainline. what kind of chainset you running?

  • I've had a good read through the Velosolo site, and they fall just short of answering my question. I do have 130mm drop outs, but no chain set at all yet. I think a single speed chain set with your suggestion of a double chanring BB would lift the chain line wide enough. Theres not going to be a huge hurry to get running gears, it would just be good to have the option without getting a new wheel. Cheers!

  • actually. why not get a road chainset, lose one of the chainrings by switching to single bolts, and then when wanting to go geared again just install second chainring back. because of wide chainline you wont have trouble with the inner tabs hitting the chainstay or something.
