IB13: Fyxation un-fixes your fixed with 6 speeds with SixFyx, Plus new Leather Goods
Ignore the HORRIBLE leather ultimate disc holder and check out the 120mm OLD cassette hub setup.
Says it uses a 9sp chain, so assuming it’s a partial 9sp cassette. Which means shimano 9sp barcons/shakes/DT shifters plus a shimano mech would play nice with it.
Good bit of kit to keep vintage 120mm road frames going too.
i think it would be completely fair to set fire to any person who buys/owns any of those leather products
If that 6 pack holder came in black, it’d be handy come Mardis Gras.
What year is it again? Next people will be respacing their frames to fit the new 7 speed version of the 6 speed 9 speed hub.
And wtf is disc golf? Do they mean frisbee? Worst ever.
I dont know why, but I kinda like this idea.
I don’t know why either.
I like the idea of a good 6 speed setup with a 9 speed chain.
Isn’t this similar to an idea suggested by Spirito?
frisbee golf is awesome. it’s like golf but for drunk tightarses
Yeah, played frisbee golf at Queenstown once. Great day, watching ducks land on frozen ponds on the same day was hilarious.
6spd pompino gravel grinder, rad.
I was thinking the exact same thing. I’m planning on turning my pomp into a geared touring bike, and this option looks good. It’s either this, re spacing the frame and making another shifter/ dérailleur combo work, or an internal geared hub. Not sure if 6 gears would be enough though…
This option does look clean…
Like this?
8sp nexus, tubus lowrider, ortlieb panniers.
$300 including the rear wheel is a great deal.
Blingy beardo version: Different hubshell, same concept.
$185 for the hub, $70 for the 6sp cassette, $90 for the 5sp cassette.
6sp cassette is 8sp spaced (Perfect for some C10-S8 shimergoing), 5sp cassette is 5sp spaced.
Depends on your terrain, conditions and load. Did a month on 21spd tourer in Scotland/Europe and I needed all 21 of those gears at one point or another due to some hilly terrain. One hill in Luxembourg had me giving it everything in the granny ring with the rear in “1st”. The chain complained and busted one side of a link. When touring I would always rather have more gears than I needed.
My tourer is 3x7, Can my 7spd deore dx hub take an 8spd or larger cassette? Or maybe a 9spd minus 1? I’m not big on knowledge when it comes to mix n match shimano. Need a narrow ‘Q’ triple square taper crankset too…
8 of 9 on 7 works. I’ve done it on a 7sp xt hub.
Some 11-xx 9sp cassettes even have lockring knurling on the 12t, just ditch the 11t, scavenge a 12T lockring and a 9sp shifter and you’re good to go.
I’m considering this for my pomp though not sure it’s entirely necessary, for 300 bucks I could probably just buy a new frame and swap the pomp parts over if I really wanted gears. I’ve been slower on some of the gravel grinders with bigger climbs but never enough to have me wanting to quit the SS. Supposedly the cassette for the sixfyx is an 11-24.
And the first of these options to be announced, SunXCD (from OG SunTour):

These look nicer…
