Currently running my Wanga single speed and am considering the possibility of fitting an Alfine for occasional use. Are sliding drop outs all that are required for fitting, by this I mean are there special dropouts required or will anything do to allow chain tensioning?

Ta

And by the way – any recommendations for a rear carrier on a bike with disk brakes?

The alfine just goes in normal drop-outs – same as any other wheel so it will be fine

Rear carreir – IME any one will do – just space it out a bit to clear the caliper if required. The only disc specific on I had was clumsy and heavy

Cheers Tandem.
