Hello all, i'm thinkin of changing the gears on my commuter bike to internal hub gears but not sure how to go about it? Would I need to get rid of the front triple chainrings for a start also would I have to change the rear dropouts to a more horizontal position. My commuter bike is a Giant CRS, not sure what the gear spec is but its probably low end stuff that came with the bike. Any help appreciated thanks

You're thinking along the right lines though you'll also need a new rear wheel and a new bottom bracket. You'll also need new shifters depending on what hub you go for.
Once you've done this, you might as well get a ready-made hub geared bike. That way you'll have the Giant as a spare bike.
