i made around 20 convertions an my golden rule is h.dropouts,but im riding a treck with vertical dropouts the stress of loose chain ended when i try a h+s laced to a system hub now replaced for a phil w. with time the chain will strech but u can fix that with a new one(10 p on the cheap side)
i had the same problem with a small frame(50cm)and i pulled the dropouts and worked after that i replaced the rear wheel,then tyre and worked allm the time...good luck be gentle
im new with this stuff not bikes i mean forums,web...i need to bribe my son.honestly i been doing convertions and after 15 i feel brave enough to show my work after this nursery period
