Title: RT Frame with derealeaur
Post by: Cedric on May 12, 2011, 03:49:39 PM

Dear all,

May be stupid question, but it is much easier to ask then search for.

Considering the alternative for balding the RT starting from frame purchase. Meanwhile before buying the Rohloff hub is it possible to use RT frame with derailleur?

I see on brochure that RT frame is specially designed for Rohloff use only. But also, when exploring Members gallery I saw some old Nomad frames with derailleur.

Also spoke with one mechanic who confirmed that it is absolutely impossible

Thanks for clarifying!

Regards,

Cedric

No, you can't fit a rear derailleur to a Raven Tour (or any of the Thorn Rohloff specific frames), at least not in the conventional way.
To me this seems a shame as it would be a useful feature to have on the frames, even if it was a removable bolt on derailleur hanger.
