why does this belong in the single speed forum?
you can get 135mm spaced, disc brake internal gear hubs...
check out https://hubstripping.wordpress.com/in...ar-hub-review/ first
"# Hubs which a disc brake option are Shimano Nexus INTER-3, Shimano ALFINE, Sturmey Archer 8 Speed (model: XRK8), Rohloff Speedhub and SRAM i-MOTION 9 ."

Bikes: around 10 of various styles and types
it works pretty nice too
had a SA 3 speed in an old mtb frame, i narrowed the drop-outs, worked really well, until i went fording (riding through fords)
if you use a SA hub make sure the plate used for the drop-outs is thin, the axles aint the longest in the world
i definately recommend trying it though

Joe and his wife bought sweet Santa Cruz MTBs and added Rohloff hubs for their Continental Divide trip. And yeah, not sure what that has to do with single speeds.

..not really, seeing as how this forum is "Single Speed/Fixed Gear." Seems as though the "Fixed Gear" would take care of that.
An internally geared, freewheeling mountain bike? That is about as far away from the topic of this forum as it gets, unless they want advice on tensioning their chain.

You've apparently never been here for a "lets all post pictures of Volkswagens" thread. Many folks here get raging hard-ons from viewing pictures of mediocre German chick cars. (that's right, I said it)

But I can think of at least five other subforums that would be better suited to answer the original question.

Oh, I agree. I've posted my IGH bike here a few times because it is built off a FG frame but in general I think there are other forums that more closely cater to IGH questions. I was mostly just trolling to see who'd get their panties in a wad over Vdubs getting insulted. No one took the bait (...yet).
