I've got an older 10 speed that I picked up already converted to a
singlespeed by a local bikeshop. I love the bike, but on some of my
longer rides I wish I had another gear or two for the downhills,
especially when they lead into big climbs or I have other cyclists
shooting past me on the way down.
Would I be able to add a rear der to this bike? I'm thinking rear
wheel, cassette, der, cable, shifter, chain and I should be good to go.
Would I be better off staying with the original 5 speed, as the bike
once had, or could I go up to a 7? I understand after 8 other factors
change, and I want to keep it simple (and rugged). Would I run into
any issues with the chain angles from one end of the cassette to the
other with a singlespeed crank?
Thanks in advance,
Dan
