It's been working out quite well. I currently have a 48x18 drivetrain which
is more than adequate 95% of the time. When heavily loaded down and

For a little more context, I live at the top of 84 in Woodside and I
commute to work everyday (was Palo Alto, now Redwood City). This SimpleOne
was my first Rivendell, but when I moved to Woodside I largely stopped
riding it and purchased an Atlantis. A single speed in the mountains isn't

First, congratulations; that's an ambitious mod. The basic concept is cool

except cold-setting a 120mm spaced-frame to 135mm to me is pretty extreme.
A big part of the appeal of the S1/QB is that it IS a single speed and it

That's great.
Did bending the rear triangle from 120 mm to 135 mm spacing on such a nice

Although we've cold set many steel bikes before, 120mm to 135mm is a pretty
big jump. Fortunately, steel is quite malleable and forgiving as we all
know. According to the mechanic who completed the cold setting, the process
went quite smoothly. We made sure to check everything several times

Thanks Daniel for your answer. I didn't know there was internal and
external shift/gearbox difference in the hubs. I take back my response as
