Can I add gears to a single speed bike?Updated 2 years ago

Great question! It is not possible to add gears to a single-speed bike. This is because the rear dropouts (where the rear wheel fits in) are only 100mm wide, whereas geared bikes have 130mm wide dropouts to account for the gearing system. 


More simply put, there is not enough room to add gears.
