Single speed conversion

Want to convert my cadd3 frame to single speed but don't want to use a single speed converter can anyone tell me what chain ring and rear spocket size to use.

get whatever you want then use a half link chain and hope you get lucky with chain tension, that's what i did on my first conversion and it worked

yeh, if you measure this piece of string, and divide it by 73, then times it by your tyre ize, that will be how many links you need in your chain.

WI eccentric hub? pricy but worth it..

If you're gonna be patronizing do so with accurate spelling, punctuation and grammar. Otherwise you make yourself a target for abuse and the thread descends into warfare (usu. involving hippy/dogsballs/Pistanator)

@ ian:
Firstly use the search (if you haven't already). That really will be helpful.
Secondly you using a freehub and spacers or a flip flop rear wheel?
Thirdly are asking with reference to chain tension?
Fourthly a direct answer to your question as above is impossible as you have not given enough info. Your needs/frame size/desires/current level of knowledge/experience/usage levels are all factors that determine what you use. And chainline is important.

My advice: use the search, check sheldon brown, answer all the parts of my fourth point then come back.

And finally, as you are new and the question above is both vague and about a single speed conversion I have assumed that you know relatively little about fixed gear/single speed (compared to others on the forum not me, they know more). If this assumption is wrong I apologize for the tone of my post.

Do a search on magic gear/ratio and you will find a few calculators. Ultimately just a compromise though as you will not get the gear you want, you will get the gear the bike needs to make it work. And with just one gear it is important to me at least that it is the dead right one!
