tricross – SS to geared conversion?

is this possible? are the dropouts replaceable or would i have to use a hub gear?

ta

dmr do this;

dmr gear hanger thingy

hmmm

interesting thanks

your biggest issue is going to be that the rear-end is 120mm spaced so there’s no chance of getting derailleur gears in there, i haven’t bothered to see if you can get a 120mm spaced hub gear because i suspect it wouldn’t be worth all the hassle

ah, i thought that might be an issue

shame as there are quite a few about and i fancy a SS winter bike/geared tourer

What about an Alfine hub gear, would that go on a 120 spacing. Did I see a pompino with that done on the On-One site?

Placed an order for a tricross on Friday so hopefully will have it tomorrow. I might even look into making it fixed.

doesn’t really offer enough choice for touring, the gears are too widely spaced

it’d have to be a rohloff and they are a little too pricey!

Its SA or nowt for the spacings. I have looked.

Pompino comes in 135 and 120 flavours. The Alfine is 135. Like mattsccm says you’re limited to 120 size hubs. I think there might be SRAM 3speeds that fit as well SA
