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

Looks like fun. I'm not a massive fan of that tensioner, but that's largely an aesthetic issue. Perhaps you could look into magic gears if you ever manage to have the bike to yourself for a while.
