Started working on the POSS. Bend the rear back a bit and it is aligning a little better but needs to be bent slightly more. Another issue I am having is that the rear wheel is slipping out of the dropouts when under load. The dropouts are out of whack and the qr is not sitting squarely against it. I guess I gotta bend that too. Gotta love steel!
I wanted the POSS to have some easier gears so I thought I would go ahead took off the drop bars and road gearing replaced with a straight bar and mtb gearing. I thought I had a complete 9spd mtb stuff but I was missing a shifter. Eh... went ahead and installed 8spd but the chain is rubbing on the frame and getting stuck when on the smallest cog. I think its the bent dropouts. Hopefully bending it back will correct the problem but for now, it will have to run as a 7spd.
