Oh, just to let you know Bars and Stem are winging their way across to you as per dispatch instructions.
Just been reading back through this thread, thought i may give you some food for thought on my Single Speed Conversion.
Initially i had 2 x old rear cassettes which were really cream crackered and not worthy of fitment. I filed off the heads of the pins holding them together. Hey presto i was left with 10 x Plastic spacers and a selection of loose cogs. Using my Hub i was able to slide on the spacers and choose a suitable cog continue to pack out with spacers and screw on the retaining disc.
Getting chain tension is dependant on the length of the stay, size of front chain ring and rear cog. I could not get it to work with no form of tensioner so invested in a DMR Single Speed kit which came witth spacers and dedicated rear cog.
This made for a much neater set-up and provided us with a great riding expierience
Happy Days, some Schwalbe City Jet Tyres fitted and my lightweight ride was sorted
Hope this gives you food for thought,
Jussa
