Anybody got experience with gears on the steamroller?
planning something for mine to reduce the need for an extra bike for 4-5 rides/year* as my steamroller rides and fits wonderfully
willing to totally ruin the aesthetics and looking for inspo as it will stay fixed the other 360 days
already on my list:
hubs: sunxcd / grand bois / fyxation 120mm shimano HG compatible hubs, unfortunately either sold out or pita to get on this side of the pond, alternative 1: trying to convert hope hub to 120mm via ssp freehub (fits up to 7 cogs), alternative 2: 5/6 speed screw on freewheel on some classic hub. want to avoid spreading the frame
attaching the derailleur: problem solvers derailleurhanger
derailleur: would like wireless etap axs, but no chance to limit cog range atm, so short road derailleur with friction shifting it is
or should i just say fuck it and buy a 3 speed IGH?
