I'm building a versatile "all around" bikepacking bike inspired by this build:
http://www.englishcycles.com/custombikes/black-rainbow-divide-ride/I like the logic behind being able to swap the wheels if needed. I've dabbled with single speeds before and it would be nice to switch things around without having a dedicated SS bike. This being said, if you were building an ultimate 29er bikepacking wheelset, what hubs would you use? I already have a Surly Ogre frame with a Salsa Enabler fork (135mm).
Right now my thoughts are internal gear hub (e.g. Alfine
for one and a Hope Tech SS hub for the other. Like the bike above, it gives you 2 drivetrains in a single bike that can be used at any time. Thoughts?
Thanks!
