Hi all,
Anyone ever attempted such a thing?
I have 2 sets of wheels for my commuter – one built on Halo Aerotrack rims which usually wear 25c Duranos, the other with some Alex XD Lites which are wider & either wear 32c Small Block 8 or 35c Voyager Hypers.
The wider wheels with the Voyagers will be staying on the bike for commuting for the forseeable but I have a spare SS setup kicking around & will probably stick this on the other wheelset as a lightweight SS set with the Small Block 8s on for “exploring” some local farm tracks etc. (i.e. escaping the house at the first hint of cleaning the oven / removing those bikes from the spare room)
Soooooo – will it be possible to still change the front rings (36/46) with the ss setup or am I missing something & tempting a fiery explosion which will tear my balls off? (i’m aware £12 or so would give me a spare cassette & 20 gears instead of a prospective 2 – where’s the excitement in that though 😉 )
