My method improved handling imo but ment respacing the dropouts quite a bit and using size 48 shoes ment a bit of heelstrike. But I rode it like that for a good while.

I did it the same way as @Batt- the only issue I found is that the hanger insert moves the mech about 5mm outboard so it takes some extra fiddling to index for the granny gear.
Also it's a complete pain in the arse to change a tube. Unlike Batt's I use SKS front mudguard stays for the rear guard, so they can pop out without having to undo the bolts.
Anyone ever swapped out their pomp dropouts for geared? I know you can get a little hanger to stick in... Was wondering on the best way to turn the pomp into a proper 130mm geared back end (and disc while I'm at it).
@M_V ? I know there's an old thread where @Hulsroy did it but it raised the back end about 15mm or so with some custom inserts things...
