  • Problem might be rear spacing and the fact that the chain might be 3/16" so don't know whether you could get sprockets for the Sachs in that size.
    Also when fully loaded that hub might not be strong enough.

  • Rear spacing could be a problem indeed.
    I think you could run a 3/16" chain on a 1/8" sprocket, same as you can run a 1/8" chain on a 8spd sprocket.
    I haven't ridden one of these hubs myself but they have the reputation of being very robust. You'd have to try.

  • If that wasn't big enough the new one should be!

  • this arrived today.

  • Update? LS hasn't been around since Oct 2015. Anyone know if he's still working on this?

  • This is such a rad thread!

    Really want to see what happened to this.
