    Hi there
    I’m no expert but I’ve never heard of anyone putting a Dualdrive 3×9 into a F frame so I suspect it’s not possible or only possible with great difficulty.
    I suspect there isn’t the room for the hub and 9 cog cassette especially with Mark 2 rear forks which are difficult to widen, so I have read.

    The Series 2 forks are not that hard to widen Alex – a car jack and some care does the trick. I opened some up to 135mm for an SRAM S7 hub easily enough.

    I have a mk3 with a Sachs 3×7 set up, it needed some work to the rear triangle
