jake the snake Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 I need advice: I own a Gary Fischer Rig Single speed 29er, I love the bike and want to convert it to a geared bike....any advice? I suppose the biggest question is where to fit the rear/d ?

The Drongo Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 (edited) Is there not a hanger slot on the drive side with a filler? If so, then you will need to locate a hanger to fit the slot. Have hanger, can convert. Edited June 7, 2011 by The Drongo
AndreZA Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 You will have to see if a normal Fisher hanger is gonna fit the frame. Looks like it's the only tricky part.

I have an older bolt on Shimano Saint derailleur that should work. Have on for normal dropouts, which if it looks like the one above it will work. Also have one for horizontal dropouts.

If that is the back end of what he has, then GF should have a hanger to fit. Other dude. I have a HONE bolt thru as well. They weigh a ton, and need a solid axle. Although you can convert a standard Shimano C&C from skewer to solid. Beat to get a hanger, and a nice XT shadow rear D.
The Drongo Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Here you go. GF Excaliber. Looks like exakkery the same frame geo too. Ask for one of these...

The hanger and XT shadow is first prize. if you still have a problem, let me know and we can make a plan.
