Ok guys. Would it be possible to put a SS freewheel on the back , and still use 3 chainrings up front? I was thinking I would take off the middle pulley of the der, and convert it to a singleator type of thing.
This is for the huffy, and I just want to do it b/c i think it would be neat. I want to put some v-brakes on, and my shifter pods are integrated into the brake levers. I was thinking I would go derailler-less, and I would just use my hand or foot to shift the front. I have been doing a lot of urban stuff, and my seat is usually all the way down, so I basically I have two modes: small ring in front, and big cog in back for the goofball stuff i do when actually urbaning, and middle ring and big cog in back for the ride over. so really I don't need a real derailler. the question that remains is if it can be done.
