Speeltyd Posted October 6, 2016 Share I have an On-One 45650B with an SRAM X9 setup at the back - single 32T chainring up front. How can I convert this to a SS? What parts would I need? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaGearA Posted October 6, 2016 Share Cog And possibly a tensioner you can use your current chain / or get a little more beefy SS chain but not required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vetseun Posted October 6, 2016 Share Spacers and a single cog of your own choice in size.A single speed kitAnd a lekker ss chain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

popcorn_skollie Posted October 6, 2016 Share Is the spacers used on the free body the same size as used on a headset? If you wanna ghetto it. You can get these spacers from an old cassette or two, Just go to a lbs, ask them if they have any old ones to give away, break them open. Stack the plastic spacers which separate the sprockets on your freebody. Play with the position your sprocket between them to get a lekker chain line and presto. Oh and don't forget the lockring. I ran my 2 single speed bikes like this for the longest time without any problems. Worked fine. Its worth mentioning though that I had a proper SS sprocket, NW ring and bmx chain on both of them. http://revelo.at/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/singlespeed-at-10.jpg Single speed kits are pretty cheep though. Might as well do the right thing. BenReaper and Mongoose! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted October 6, 2016 Share Best ss conversion I did was with a isg mounted guide to tension the chain. Would definately do the same again on the next build. Mongoose! and Speeltyd 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted October 7, 2016 Share Does it run noisy Jerome?smooth and silent with a spring loaded tensioner you get some noise and the occasional bit of chain slap, not with this setup. I have sold the bike, else I would have happily done a little clip to demonstrate how silent and smoothly the system works by back spinning the cranks. This is the closest I have gotten to the smooth setup one gets with a proper ss frame ex any tensioners. Speeltyd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
