Hi all,
Happy new year 2009 :-)
Here is my first singlespeed conversion.
The mechs messed up so i deicided to get a few bits and bobs and make it singlespeed
And here it is: Giant OCR in a singlespeed version
For some reason i got a shimano alfine tensioner which works only with 3/32 chains but gives really nice tension and perfect 42mm chainline.
The conversion was really cheap and quite funny diy.
The bike is so much funnier to ride now. The ratio is 39/16. It's smooth and easy to pedal.
Cheers
Igor
