right, so obviously it wouldnt be set up at the same time... sorry if that warn't clear.
I would have two chains, one long(gears), one short (fixed).
most of the time would be ridden fixed here in the city.
When I want to ride out and go camping in the mtns. nearby I would pull the wheel, change the chain, screw the derailleur on, hook up the friction shifter.
the bike has paul cantis already, no disk brakes...
it would take 15 mins to swap from geared to fixed or vice versa, I just dont want to have to build two wheels...
IM mainly worried about where the chainline would be if I bolted a boone ti cog onto the disk mount. Most people do this with a front hub with spacers... I want to use the cassette hub.
