Owen_DJ Posted July 17, 2020 Share To respond to the XD driver body single speed adapter question, i found only two solutions exist : Zinger XD Singlespeed Adapter Kit | https://problemsolversbike.com/article/fresh-solution-zinger-xd-singlespeed-adapter-kit Gusset SRAM XD fit 1-ER SS Kit | https://www.gussetcomponents.com/shop/hubs-and-cassettes/xd-1-er-kit/ Getting it in SA is where the difficulty and costs started. At the beginning of the year, when searching, I could only find stock of the Zinger adapter globally from JensonUSA and they were one of the very few places to ship directly to SA. Another note. If you do go with one of these options, best you buy some extra cogs with your order as I am yet to find locally available 6 bolt cogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted July 17, 2020 Share Can you use a derailleur as a tensioner and do this with a ds?the guys that do crazy stupid jumps sometimes do ... or at least I am sure I have seen this ... I recall seeing something recently where a rear der is broken down to make a tensioner as you do not need the lower pulley. Gavin R a good many years ago also pitched up for a SS Race on his Titus duallie sporting a single gear setup tensioned with a der. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll dig a little because I predict that my gears will start irritating me soon. Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewbacca Posted July 17, 2020 Share You can SS a DS, but the ones with big chain growth become very annoying. I would also recommend using a short cage or road RD as a tensioner (you do get 'caged' tensioners too) as the normal ones break or throw the chain.

BaGearA Posted July 17, 2020 Share I also tried the thing with one pulley froma busted derailer but I didn't work as I imagined and was only going to be A solution until the tensioner arrived , which is why I used A derailer as the above post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaGearA Posted July 17, 2020 Share Sorry for the potato quality but we're still using A image uploader from 1824 the tensioner looks much better , makes little too no noise ( i swapped the crap chines pulley for one of the XX1 pulley's I have laying around ) No drops yet And I dont expect any MORNE and Hairy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaGearA Posted July 17, 2020 Share For A DS I recommend something like this , looks da business and will last forever I might cost you A few bucks tho ( I'd expect between 400-700) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewbacca Posted July 18, 2020 Share Thats the one I was thinking of... I made one using a short cage XO RD and long limit strews. Not as tidy but it works like a dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
