  • Got an old steel frame I wanted to build as a 1x10... but getting it out last night it would appear it's not got a deraillieur hangar. Not sure if it's been knocked off or what - there's a cable lug on the chainstay which suggests it ought to have had a hangar at some point.
    What are my options? Can I get something welded on?

  • You need this;

    TBH it's easier to get this and run an 8 speed system, cheaper in the long run than a 10 speed system (and last longer).

  • What's the cheapest way to build a decent 1x8 setup? Can I use wheels with a 10-speed freehub?

    @mdcc_tester :)

  • Ok, so I bought the hangar - but the 10 spd cassette jams against the hangar's bolt - assume that's what you were getting at when you told me to run it as an 8 speed? i.e. an 8 speed has enough clearance for that bolt?
    So to add complication - the wheel has a campag freehub. I've never done it, but there's no issues swopping a shimano freehub in there, is there?
