Converted the bike to a 2 speed because I hate walking up trails. Although the earlier Uzzi was made for dual rings, the Socom was not. I had to add a clamp on cable stopper on the seat tube to give it a top pull for the front derailleur. The front derailleur barely fit. I almost couldn't get it low enough. Works great although the chain rubs really bad on the chain stay in the bike stand, but onces i'm on the bike and create some sag, it works just fine. All the rub is gone. Climbs like a beauty (at least for a downhill bike).
