Hi folks,
New poster here. I have been lurking for a while, enjoying the banter - great forum!
I have a late '80s Peugeot (similar to Jonaent's) that I have been fiddling with, with the intention of converting to a singlespeed . I am at the point where I am happy with the bars/seat/post etc (finding a 24mm post was a PITA), and would like some advice.
It is/was a 12 speed, so am I correct in assuming the rear hub needs to be 126mm?
What is the best way to get the correct chainline? Do I fit the rear hub first and get a BB to fit?
Any recommendations for people to see - I have seen that there are few on here who will build wheels for beer - my favourite currency, as I am trying to keep the costs down.
I apologise if this is shit that you have been over before, but I have looked and am not entirely sure.
Thanks in advance,
Richie.
