Thanks. Its currently 11 speed but 10 is possible, would need to get a new shifter though. Had thought it might be about like 7 which would be impossible to find in hydraulic disc

Thanks for letting me know your experience Pete, I did wonder about the handling. Does the rear wheel kit mean you have a reduced range of gears?I'm not adverse to a rear wheel kit but as I'd be converting the bike for road use but still wanting to use as a CX bike. With reduced gear numbers might make things difficult with the shifters

I'm looking to convert my Canyon Inflite CX bike to help me keep up on hills when cycling in a group, unfortunately a heart condition makes me too slow on hills, but fine the rest of the time. Rides are typically 40-60 miles, but I wouldn't need to have assistance for the whole time. The bike is aluminium with a carbon fork. Ideally I'd like to be able to return it to a normal bike easily when I'm on my own, so think a front wheel hub would be best but open to ideas. Most of the front hub systems I've seen seem to require 10mm spacing in the dropouts and I'm not too keen to file down mine which are 9mm. Cytronex seems to be the only one that would fit. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
