ebenvn Posted June 4, 2012 Share Thanks for all the opinions and advice!. Hopefully I wont be using my elbows soon... I am looking around for cranks and saw these: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=78791 - can I just buy them and replace the chainring with a 32t one?

ebenvn Posted June 4, 2012 Share I also see most of the spacer kits say "converts 8/9 speed to single speed"..... Do they also work on 10 speed systems? (I thought its only the casette that changes, and not the hub.... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I thought its only the casette that changes, and not the hub.... ) I bought a standard Deore crank, 175mm and plenty strong. for spacers when running SS on multi-ring cranks: http://www.chainreac...x?ModelID=19227 As for chains, the KMC Z610HX is a must it is very strong (2600 lbf tensile) and are quite cheap the 610 has 3/32 spacing: http://www.chainreac...x?ModelID=25433 For sprocket with a wide base i use: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=17775 Edited June 5, 2012 by hdp_gmx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebenvn Posted June 23, 2012 Share Put my order in and received everything this week. Struggled a bit in the week to get the old blades of the crank (got a second hand KCNC crank from my LBS), so will spend some time this weekend to get it of and start the build... With rugby and working, hopefully can get it done! Have all the parts, except still on the lookout for some brakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShawnMano Posted June 29, 2012 Share Halo cogs have the widest base I've seen so far at 7mm. Its a all steel cog. Looks like a good cog saw them at 2 lbs just a but pricey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igknot Posted May 28, 2013 Share Hi. What is the opinion on using this frame for a ss build, I am 1.85 meters tall https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/49988-momsen-al529-19/ Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone_Ranger Posted May 28, 2013 Share As an interim measure I took apart an old cassette and use the cogs from there. Not a long term solution, as the cog will bite into the hub over time, but a cheap and nasty quick fix. You then also have a full set of different sized cogs which you can try out to find the "perfect" gear. I have a DMR tensioner and it works quite well, along with an old 3 x crank. I think Dialed Bikes stock a DMR SS conversion kit, which includes tensioner and spacers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebenvn Posted June 18, 2013 Share Ok guys, took more than a year (yes, pathetic - I know...) Finally finished this project... Will take it for a ride this week and see how it goes.

Wil6 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Guys I need some advise. Bought a GT Zaskar expert 26" frame and I am busy building it up from scratch for my very first SS project. Just found out the frame can easily take a 650B rim with a 2.1 tire with still more than enough clearance for mud. Is it worth the "upgrade" or is 26" wheels the way to go? The rigid fork I bought can also easily take a 650B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
