Singlespeed Conversion: Simple No Tensioner!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- From 24 speeds to single speed, if your frame doesn't have horizontal dropouts, you probably need a tensioner.
The chance of having a perfect chain length is very unlikely, it can be perfect, but it also can be too loose or tight.
90 links: Too tight
92 links: Too loose
In order to make it fit, I inserted a outer link to the chain to make it 91 links.
Bike: Devinci Vancouver
Parts installed:
DMR Single Speed Converter Kit - 16t cog
Blackspire 32t chainring
Truvativ Firex
90 + 1 links chain

As a noob that's been working on bikes for a few weeks you're a brave man in my eyes. Bikes seemd complex when I started. Now I get excited that I'm understand how parts work. It's because of people like you that take an additional step in making a video for people like me and others. Thank you.
If you still have some😅
*Looked at a lot of options for getting my **Latest.Bike** . Great find in SAVA. Super light, nice components, really good value as it comes with many options only found in much higher priced bikes.*
First time seeing someone create a half chain link. Well done.
That was pretty awesome ngl. This guy made such a good video.
It can only work on bikes that have equal thickness chainring, for bikes like mine that had a staggered thickness front chainring I unfortunately just had to eat the extra slack and go through about 4 different sized front chainrings until I found one that would allow little enough slack to not fly off the front ring!
Saved my life this has 😂😂 was thinking to take my Rock climber to the shops to get the gears sorted but feel like this is way better.
Thanks for such an informative video 👌
I have been looking for this tutorial for weeks. Thank you for making it.
One of my ss has 42t chain ring and 18t cog Rides like a dream and take hills smoothly

Great idea. If possible, use a pin for a wider chain. For example if you're using a 10 speed chain (which is what I always do when the 10 speed chains are worn to .75 on my road or mountain bike, they are re-used on my single speed) then I will use a pin from an 8 or 9 speed chain to join. It's okay that the ends of the pin sit wider than the chain because it's a single speed the wider pin won't interfere with other gears or shifting. This creates a stronger connection and you can see and feel where the chain was joined easily.

That is the set up of my MTB ever since... I always using my bike riding it around the city, thats why I dont need any shifters, gears, rd etc... Basic single speed thats enough
You know, this works perfectly on the trail as well, a little hard to push climbing but on flats and downhill is awesome
I bought an older 18 speed steel mtb frame because it had horizontal dropouts and no derailleur hanger; looked like it was made for single speed conversion; fitted 33t chainwheel and 18t sprocket; great for trails or shop trips
Been thinking about converting my aggressive hard tail to single speed, it’s been on my mind why people haven’t tried using half link chains instead of chain tensioners, so good job. Just need to see if I can keep up with my mates on the trails with one gear. I spent 20 years riding Bmx so love the idea of the simple single speed
I just built up a Dartmoor Primal single speed, absolutely loving it. Only thing is that with a push down tensioner the chain skips when Im torquing it hard on a steep bit. Can't go with a halflink because of narrowwide chainring, but I'm going to try using the tensioner pushing the chain up instead of down.
Half links stretch like crazy...
Try dmr tensioner in push up mode, only works with 3/32 chain tho
Do it brother! You'll be a badass 11year old monster again! It's stoooopid fun, give it a try.
@@StaggerLee68 that's sounds so sarcastic 😂
Good show! I'm having that problem trying to convert an old MTB to one with an Enviolo hub. The frame has vertical dropouts, and now I see how this can be fixed. Very good.
Excellent this is exactly the video I was looking for TY
I wasn't even looking for this how to and watched the whole thing, lol. Cool vid.
Thanks brother. All these conversions are inspiring. I’m looking forward to my first conversion in the near future.
Gonna try that tonight was stuck past couple days actually busted a freewheel Kuz it was way tight. Thnk u for dropping a Gem💎
A halflink chain would've been the easiest solution
They make halflink masters too.
Well Sun of a Gun, I've been trying to figure this out for a while. Thank you.
your videos are awesome! all of them :)
solved my problem. thanks for your tutorial men it helps me a lot.
Sir when i buy that kit to use road bike to single speed like that
Espectacular video.... Me pase tiempo buscando algo asi....
I just bought a haro mountain bike with gears and coming from bmx I don't like the idea of making things easier by changing gears, kind of want to attempt this conversion. I want something that will feel normal on flat roads and give me a little challenge on incline like my bmx bike did for a good workout.
Just zoned out and got jump scared at the drop damn this track is lit
I like the idea of no tensioner, they spoil the simplicity of a single speed to some extent.
Bro just invented half link chain!!!
im in the process of converting my 26 inch full suspension mountain bike to a single speed 20 inch full suspension stunt bike for street riding thanks for the help
I would have just used a halflink master or full chain.
This is awesome. This is my first time doing this to an Old 10 Speed Ross Aka Bomber bike And I'm glad I ain't alone on this. Great video glad I watched this before doing anything else.
Don’t try with a narrow wide chainring. Has to be even number of links of course 😉
That’s true, you got it 👍
As a single speed, if your chain line between the front and rear cog is straight, and you have decent chain tension, you can just use a cheaper/outdated regular chainring. No need for narrow wide.
You are a master
Bike bulders love Singlespeed bikes. Bike riders hate them
id like to see how its done with a tensioner
Great build!
Dang I just enjoyed being put into a trance while learning how to make my bike a single speed.
This will work..... Until your chain starts to naturally stretch out. I'd rather go with a tensioner than switch out my chain or have to shrink my chain all the time. Sick bike though
Great instructional video!!!!
Thanks this helps a lot 🙏🏻
You’re a boss thank you
Belle job!
If you want to use a MTB wheel on a single speed frame, can you do it without the hub? Thanks
Do you know how to put 2 single sprackets? One for cycling and one for ebike?
Why would you convert it ?
Can I do it on full sus or do I need a tenchener
having to do this cause of a broken derailer that i can not replace at a reasonable price
Okay, at the end I was thinking, "now do a sick wheelie". Ask and ye shall recieve apparently! Ha!
Isn't it cool how a person's bike is a reflection of who they are? Every cyclist has their own touches on their bike.
Thanks for the tip
Why don’t you just remove the derailleurs and shorten the chain? Free
He carry the whole city on his back I mean bike.
Seems like chain pin would not be long enough for link added to outside of outside link
Hi...did you use 2 different chain sizes? singlespeed with multiple speed chain.
Hi, yes, I used 2 different chains, singlespeed (1/8”) and 9 speed (3/32”).
the chain link sketcy AF and still too loose..... maybe a bigger chainring?
THANK YOU YOU HELP ME OUT
Выглядит надёжно)))
Can you make it fixed gear?
Make on freewheel 😢
That would be better with a bigger crank ring
Another posting without commentary.
33 X 18 ??
@danyosports dose your chain skip teeth at alll i have a tensioner on mine but it keeps skipping when load in put on the drive train
Great idea with that added link from a 1/8" chain, but after the chain stretches [and it will], then what?
If the chain stretches to the point where you can eliminate the added link, remove it. If not, keep riding it.
@@DanyoSports I guess that could work. I ride strictly fixed mostly off road on trails so I have all track drops on my bikes with micro chain adjuster on each bike to get the best tension. I like your method for getting newbies into single speeding without having to buy a new frame.
Can you make a single sprocket and 3 front chain rings.
Why this accompanyng music simil terror?
there are chains like that, without pairs
Coulda just shortened chain to whatever cog on cassette you like
Was it a regular spanner / wrench used to secure the cog on the wheel, or does it have a specific name?
I also have vertical dropout, and now use a derailleur as a tensioner. But your idea seems better to me. So you combine 1 / 2x1 / 8 + 1 / 2x3 / 32. Right?
Yes, that’s correct, try to remove the tentioner and see if the length fits, if not then you’ll have to add a separate chain link.
@@DanyoSports i will try, will help a lot...less weight on my bike,tnx m8
@@DanyoSports by the way...are the 1/8" en 3/32 not the same length?
The length is all 1/2”, I’ll explain this in my next video.
@@DanyoSports yeah ..that will clarify indeed..tnx
dont need tesioner unless its using 10 speed. little gears are smaller but reular bike sprocket is a lot taller and will not slip.
Will the chain fall off as the chain stretches?
Гениально!
It’ll do in a pinch
Anything is better than being a pedestrian
What you going to do when your chain stretches
I would remove a link (half link) and see if it’ll fit.
I’m having trouble with my conversion I’ve tried 18-17-16t back cogs and I have a 32t front chain ring and it constantly skips the cog what am I missing
18t cogs need 38-42 chainring
So we don't have to change the hub?
What is the name brand and model of the half-link?
Hey man I have a 16t back and 32t front chain ring I cant seem to get the proper tension if I remove half chain it's too tight if I add its kinda loose what should I do?
Hi, try to squeeze it in without the half link, remember the tolerance is 0.5”.
Will this work with chain on motorized bike?
Do you need to leave the hangar on in order to get the axle back or is it possible to remove it for a sleeker look ?
Yes, you can remove it, but I believe the hanger helps to strengthen the dropout, so it would be best to leave it on or find another piece to fill the spot.
I have a problem with my setup. It seems to skip when pedalling steep uphill roads.
If your crank or cog is old then its time to change it, when the teeth are thin it can't handle the stress it will skip, Im no expert this is base on my experience. Stay safe
@@DOI_ARTS thing is they are all new. How about the tension of the chain, can it be a cause for that problem?
So I guess it will not work to leave the cassete on the back put on a certain cog and use a narrow wide ring, right?
Sure, but the half link won’t work on the narrow wide chainring.
@@DanyoSports Makes sense, thank you, I will keep trying to put the derailleur even though it doesn't work properly, if I won't manage it seems that I will also have to buy a normal round ring.
I made my bike single speed cause every cable I use for the shifter keeps snapping off
Why is it at 3:24 he is easily tightening the bolts onto the sprocket but when I try tighten the bolt sweep things can’t tighten it because it just keeps spinning
You need like a flat head screwdriver to hold the nut from behind and then tighten it
My bike is 17t(back) 34t(front) and still loose what ı should do? buying a guide?
Get a chain tensioner.

Nicee
Thanks a lot😃
Please help I bought a conversation kit and it doesn’t fit on my free hub so how do I find 1 that’s fits 😩
What’s not fitting? The sprocket?
can i use a regular 7-9 speed chain with this or does it have to be a single speed?
Yes, you can use a regular chain.
Sir, is it possible if i convert 2by1?. The chain ring is 40t and 30t and the drivetrain is 12t?
Sure, it’s possible.
@@DanyoSports with or without tensioner sir?.
Is it possible to convert to SS just by changing the sprocket?
Yes, it’s possible.
Guys, try typing "half link chain" in your serch engines. Mind blown
4:50 Get a half link chain.
Any idea how many links i need for 38T chainring?
47 full links.
How does it stay secure vertical dropouts
Can i use the same chain on my bike?
You need a 10 speed chain for this setup.
What is the normal size for alloy spacer?
The inside diameter is 1 3/8” and the thickness varies from 1.85mm to 4.5mm.
How did that tensioner work out
It’s holding up fine.
I got you bro, but when you’re speeding you bike will likely come out.. single = tensioner
what kind of rotor was mounted in the rear?
It’s a 160mm Shimano disc rotor.
@@DanyoSports Centerlock or star pattern?
ah nevermind, i found it. Shimano sm-rt51
Its not stupid if it works
I understand now,what you have done..you used outer plates, .. on top of each other
Yes, that’s correct.
@@DanyoSports does not work, chain is still loose
Could you send me a picture on my Facebook page? I want to see it.
I do that tomorrow, put the derailleur and everything back
I copied your bike and it was terrific😊
Is it possible to run the triple chainring in the front and a single in the rear? Thank you...
No, it’s not possible, unless you put a chain tensioner with it.
