I'm sure I have seen a little adaptor to convert a slot drop out bike to geared, googling reveals naught, any help?

dmr used to 'do' a chain tug with a gear hanger on, try googling them/that.

An easy DIY bodge, not a spoon in sight ๐Ÿ˜Ž

I had ideas for an improved version but not been riding it recently.

oooh, get you mr 'factory tweaks', you even drilled it out Al. ๐Ÿ˜€
If you are ok with the chainstay length that is a much simpler way than the dmr one.

You can still move the wheel about in the stay, why anyone would bother on a cross bike is beyond me - would shortening it make it quicker in the corners or some guff?

I tried the DMR ones but removing the wheel was even more of a faff than normal.

If i used it with the axle in the middle or back of the slot, my awesum turbo thighs would overcome a qr and have that wheel forward/wonky at the first sign of a hill. 8)

I had similar to dmr ones on a commencal once, they were indeed a royal faff to remove the wheel. Mind you, my mate's slotty dropout scandal with gears (basically like Al's mod but already built into the frame) is a bit of a faff too even without tuggy bits.
