Hi Can someone tell if you can fit an hammerschmidt AM to a frame without ISCG tags? I am building up a 140mm frame that doesn't have iscg tabs. Also a purely theorical question. Is it possible to run a hammerschmidt up front with a alfine hubgear outback? has anyone tried it? if so how did it work? good bad?
Thanks for any replies.

    some people have with an ISCG adaptor. BUT as it uses the mount to act a a staitionary part of the gearbox there is quite a bit of force put into it. So the adaptor will have to be well, VERY well secured.

    Cool thanks. I checked out the link. I get the impression it has be done exactly right or you're asking for trouble
    , big expensive trouble. Could you give me an update on how it's running? is it worth the money(and risk?) over a double and bashguard?
    thanks

    the way they did the cable outlet could have been better it could have been better.

    better clearance but that is it really.
