Digging up this old thread.....

I am thinking about making a 6sp like this.

What chain did you end up using?


I have sourced my rear mech, hanger and i have taken the pins out of an old 7sp cassette. I have my 15/17t and spacer all set to go.

did you have to grind your drive side axle nut to be skinnier to allow for the hanger and the indicator chain nut? I am thinking there is no way the indicator chain nut woudl go on due to lack of threads showing after the hanger was mounted. You really cant recenter or change the axle position with the cones.

Finally......how did it ride and shift from 15/17t? was it quite smooth? It looks like a fun project.
