  • SS conversion kits, chain tensioners and chains - talk to me!

    All the ss conversion kits look pretty cheap or a bit expensive - is there anything in that? Or should I just buy the On One version for a tenner?

    Chain tensioners - was going to buy a DMR one, but only because that’s the only one I knew of. Cheaper/better options?

    And chains - should I run 3/32 or is it a better idea to try and run an 1/8 chain and get an 1/8 cog for the back?

    This is all for a very beatery beater.

    Also, gearing - what is reasonable/a good starting point? How many GI do people aim for? 50-60?

  • I have a WI Eno hub you can have for £60 plus shipping. It will be far better than trying to use a chain tensioner imo.

  • The Planet X conversion is only 2 pieces, I'd go with multiple cassette spacers, to give more options on chainline, or if you want to go dingle-speed. I've used DMR they are fine, cheaper will also be fine, I guess.

  • the On One version

    These have been fine IME. I liked 60" for flat stuff
