  • I was thinking of converting my 2 speed to 3 speed using the external derailleur. It’s a 2013 model with the older “rabbit ear” shifter.

    Am I correct I’m correct in thinking that I just need:

    Friction thumb shifter (Sunrace M96)
    3 cogs (repurposed from a 11 speed Shimano cassette)
    11 speed chain
    Thinner circlip

    Anything else I need to be aware of?

  • Ah nice thanks, is the spring required because of the aftermarket shifter? Can the rabbit ear shifter be modified to have a third gear?

    Alternatively, do you think I could get away with wider gaps between the existing 2 speed cogs, either 11/17 or 11/18 depending on frame clearance.

  • Got a suggestion for the stronger spring? I sometimes think my dropper remote shifting woes are due to that.
