Just thinking. A have an old but still very good condition Giant Yukon leisure MTB.

 

Will this make a good single speed (I am not hardcore enough for fixies) and what is the estimated costs to convert

Your Holiness, am I correct in assuming that the first or major items to change will be the cassette, the crank & the bars.

 

Rough guestimate on cost involved?

toss the casette, get a cog and spacers. your don't have to change the crank to start; use the one you have, and get rid of some chainrings (i used an old 105. the chain tensioner is very important. bars? nope. use the ones you have.

Hey, this sounds like a plan!!

 

Will definitely look into it!! Thanks Your Holiness for inspiring me!!
