   I still haven't worked out what this is or why it is, and 2minutes cursory googoling hasn't turned up any answers, so I will have to ask.
   Because I am the least bicycley of people.

     Version 1 won't work, but the idea shows lots of promise. Back to the drawing board

     Version 2 is much better than Version 1, but I think I will need a Version 3

     If I just wanted to be normal and use the hub as is, I could mount it on my bike and be done with this already, but I want to try to run the hub with a front derailleur to give myself six speeds.

     Without a rear derailleur, I need some other way of taking up the slack in the chain from shifting into the smaller chain ring.

     I'm going to try to make my own chain tensioner out of a piece of a junk derailleur that the guy at my local bike shop gave me for free. Testing things here

     I also decided to just go ahead and modify the tip of my rivet gun so it would fit this space better.

     I made a mistake yesterday, so I had to drill out the rivets and take the adapters off. By the time I got them off, the paint was all chewed up, so it gave me a good excuse to reconsider what color I wanted them.

     As you can see, I changed my mind

     According to @smellsofbikes my heat gun looks like something out of a 1980s cyberpunk manga
