This is interesting! I'm seeking a similar conversion, but want to achieve a wider range. Do you think a triple with 11/15/19T would work (always assuming I can source the relevant cogs)? And would there be any problem with a titanium rear triangle?
I'd really appreciate advice here; I be been experimenting with a double chain ring but can't get a derailleur to work so shifting has to be manual (not a problem because I use the larger ring normally, the smaller in hilly areas.
And I've successfully fitted a 12/19T combo and wonder about 11/19, but the jump is rather large and an intermediate 15 would be perfect.
