for you maybe.

Actually I just modified a washer to make the dropout work for an old suntour derailleur.
Most of the roads up and down the bluff were made with no consideration for how steep they are. I am in the older part on the east bluff and routinely drag my 65 yo out of shape body up and down the hills. I did my closest valley to bluff route recently with a 66" gear on a three speed clunker but it was no fun. Low gears for me baby!
