Evening all,
After some stop-start plans to turn my old 1995 Marin Bear Valley into a SS, I've decided that it needs sorting as I move into London and will be commuting on it within then next month or so.
Essentially the drivetrain was FUBAR, so I thought SS was the way forward...after some investigation the cranks mount the outer ring to the middle ring, which mounts to the granny ring...and as far as I understand it, that makes them useless for SS conversion (help?!).
So...after some advice really...what's the best way forward please?
Budget of about £150 to get it all back up and running...help me please, I'm useless.
