For a beater build.
1. Fixed or even freewheel hub that:
a. Can be spaced to 135 mm or close.
b. Is 32 hole.
c. Has a QR axle
d. Is threaded for a Dingle cog (I found a 17/21; many thanks to the seller).
I’ll buy a Surly if need be but would prefer cheap or trade of some sort.
2. 130 bcd 39 to ring.
Color and design no object, uglier is better, but teeth must be good.
3. Lightweight 700C tube, 50 mm to 60 mm. I have 2 but would like one as spare.
I’ve got various things to trade; if interested in a trade, LMK what you are looking for.
Thanks.
——————————
I mean to build a 39 X 17/21 with 2.35” Big Ones (tubes this time) with QR hub that lets me switch easily between a 67” and a 54” gear.
[Repeat question for Roaduno and other Rivendell dual-speed drivetrains: tell me again — refresh my memory — why the preferred method is 2 chainrings instead of 2 cogs? With a QR hub it’s so easy to switch gears on a Dingle or WI DuOSreewheel.]
