Can you run gears on a Redline Monocog?
I dont think it has a derailleur hanger, but is there a way around this? I would like to run 1x9 someday

Yes, you can run gears on it. But you need to order a sliding dropout for it that has a derailleur hanger. You should be able to order it through the shop you bought it from. 
Edit: The method I listed is for if you have a monocog flight 29er. If you have the regular one with track ends the link A from II posted should work

I don't know about the 1X9 set up, but I tried to make mine a three speed with the existing hub and it was a total nightmare. I changed it back to a single speed after one day. I am sure you will need a new rear wheel or hub to make it work right.

Yes to run it 1x9 you will need either a new rear hub and lace it to the old rim or a new rear wheel

My '09 Flight 29er has cable stops. I don't know if other models do or not, you might have to use zip ties.

yep, and you will have to run full cable housing as there are no stops. i had mine setup as a 3spd and 1x9, both worked perfectly fine. for 1x9, i would highly recommend running a bash guard and an inner chain stop to keep the chain on the ring. as far as a front der, i'm not sure what the options are.

I ran mine as a 1x9 for awhile by using a Saint rear derailleur / hub - worked just fine.

YMMV, but in one ride without an inner guide, i dropped the chain 3 times and it was in the middle cog each time. i wouldn't ride a 1x9 setup without one.

I guess if I was the type of rider that flies through the rocks and stuff, my results may have been different.
