Hi all,
Wondering if anyone has any experience running gears on their Hope Pro 2 trials/SS hub. From what I have read it seems you can use an 8 or 9 speed Shimano cassette and simply leave off the two smallest cogs, but the posts indicating that are from 2008 and I'm finding it hard to confirm what currently available parts would do the job.
The ultimate plan is to gear my rigid 26" SS to make things (marginally) easier for me as I ease my way back into mountain biking after a fair while off.
Advice on suitable derailleur (ideally short cage as I may be running a road cassette/I'm still on small wheels) and shifters that are readily available greatly appreciated. Cheers!
