Santa Cruz Bicycles Chameleon 29 Dropout

Santa Cruz's Chameleon is a versatile frame and we love how accommodating it is to our current mood. Installing the Chameleon 29 Dropout takes the frame from an off-season, low-maintenance single speed to a climb-crushing, geared race bike. Roll quickly and climb hard on rough or buff trails with 29in tires and swap out for higher volume 27. 5+ if you seek additional traction in loose conditions. The Chameleon v7. 0 is happy to be four bikes in one provided you have the appropriate wheels and dropout. The system is modular and kits are available for shape-shifting frames from 27. 5+ to 29, non-boost to boost, and single-speed to geared use. This version is the Chameleon 29 Dropout, and it's the one you'll need if you're looking to install 29in wheels with boost hubs and a derailleur. The kit includes a drive-side dropout and all the hardware necessary for the swap. Feel free to adapt your Chameleon to its natural environment.
