  • The chain won't snap if it's been shortened correctly. I've had a bodged singlespeed cassette bike shift onto a larger cog and it bent the axle and dropouts, but the chain was fine. And I've also run 3/32 singlespeed for years and not snapped a chain yet.

    But yeah, it'll work, but it might try to shift occasionally, especially if the chainline isn't perfect. Just work out what ratio you need (around 70" for flat city riding) and buy a cheap 3/32 freewheel for it (or 1/8 freewheel and new 1/8 chain). You'll need the tools to remove the existing block - buy them as an investment, or borrow off of the forum.
