    This is how real engineering is done. You start with a simple need, but end up learning so much. In reality it was probably efficient to just buy a bike with this in the first place. But your learning experience with this is priceless. Well done for ploughing through this and sharing all the problems and how you solved it! And also crediting all the videos in the process - very few people do this!

    Thanks a tonne bro. I was actually considering adding a gearkit to my wife's cycle myself, as other videos on youtube make it look simple. But no one spoke of axle length, frame widening, chain and crankset teeth thickness etc. This was really eye opening. Now I am just going to take it to a mechanic to get done. Thanks!!!

    Finally. I've been searching all over the internet the past month or so to see if I could find a video to answer 'one' question. Can you put a multi speed 'freewheel' on a fixie/single speed hub? And the answer is, yes you can. Thank you so much for all the knowledge and information you provided through the problems you had to solve to complete your project/bike build. You sir are a enigma, an anomaly, better yet, a superstar.

    I'm really glad I came across your video. I recently bought a Dahon single speed bike and while I did enjoy riding it, riding up inclines is absolute hell on my legs and nearly blacked out. Twice.
    I was planning on upgrading/modding the bike with a few adjustments to make my rides easier. And seeing that a 6-gear hub will not fit a single gear hub really made me rethink about installing a 6-speed hub. It would be better to get a 3-speed hub for the spacing.
    Overall, it would have been much easier to just buy another bike and just toggle with that instead. That way, all you have to do is swap out the OEM with aftermarket parts.

    1. Spare Parts:
    I am a German living in Taiwan. Here the students have a good infrastructure for cheap repair shops, 2nd hand bikes, and parts around universities. Is this not the case where you live? I mean buying a round handlebar with a stem could be nearly for free, does it not make more sense to buy a 2nd hand handlebar than designing and printing a new bracket?
    2. Theft

      Ideally yes, to do it the correct way change the hub of the rear wheel to one which can hold a gear cassette. But building the wheel again at home is a hard job.
      You can still use existing hub but it's a bit of a hacky way. Not durable for long term use

    @kaloosh2639 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The 3d printing ,man that's a great skill, you couldve drilled a hole through the handle bar or added a hose clamp and drilled the hose clamp,the wheel needs to be re aligned or also known as "dished"which basically moves the wheel position to one side more then the other,it is done with a wheel spoke/nipple' tool or an adjustable wrench and by oiling the spoke and nipple thread junctions before doing so,that way the axle will also benefit in giving you more thread on both sides of the axel bolts, check your wheel spokes afterward because some will protrude out of the nipple thread junctions so you may need to file them down afterward,also check your wheel rim holes maybe add duct/pipe tape as a rim liner,to prevent a rim puncture✌

      Hey usually the wheel won't be centred if you haven't changed the hub. You'll have to offset the break pads with extra spacers on one side and remove spacers on the other side. Also play with the brake caliper tension

    Great work. You mentioned problem which no other youtuber did. Besides, there aren't any videos on turning a single speed into a 8 speed. You helped me a lot. I was just wondering to know if the ride has become easier in uphill? And doesn't the derailleur get stuck in the wheel while you're on the 1st gear?!

      It's doing pretty good, needs more frequent maintenance though. The black paint I had sprayed on wore out and made the chain quite messy.
      Shifting and other things have been perfect

      Actually it may not be, if you like doing such stuff and solving problems you won't expect then you should do it since the experience at the end of it is pretty great.
      But many people will find it easier to just get it done by someone, preferably a bike shop
