Few months ago I had transformed my 1985 Ganna Pioneer MTB into a single speed beast, repainted "all black", it has cantilever brakes, no suspensions at all, 26x1.95 tyres and a city handlebar, riding it is a pure joy ! (from a 62 yo rider)
Also doing up a singlespeed vintage Rockhopper for road (slick tires, big chainring). Keep up the good video work. Make sure you mike up so we can hear you on some of the process.
Hi 38t chainring and 16t cog will fit, no need tensioner. Chain will fit just fine and the bike looks more nice. Or you can use 32t chainring and 13t cog also fit just fine. Just a tip.
Now you're having real fun! kudos to you :) welcome aboard the Single Speed club! BTW, you can actually bypass using a tensioner...if you're using 32-16 gears, by using 91 links on your chain, there will be no need for chain tensioner :)
Im wanting to make a single speed buddy bike for any friends that wanna go ride but do not have a bike...easy maintenance and cheaper than a new groupset
Fuckin love it bro! Taking my Gfs specialized myka and making it a single speed atm. Geekin out on all things single speed. Great video awesome lookin end product dude!!

Yeh mate I got one from decathlon feels great
Good job. Was thinking of doing the same.
Thank you so much and why not try it
Ganda ng set up mo boss sa mtb
Do you use thru axle or just the qr on the rear wheel
Quick releasd
I got the Reverze single speed kit, but the chain on my bike needs to be more tight, do you think adding a tensor would help?
Yes I had the same problem and tensioner definitely helps
@@Aidan__Galloway Is there any specific type of tensioner?
I just got one from eBay
Good video, man.
Thanks mate
I subbed! Are you a Yankee fan? or just like the cap?
Nice job man thanks for the info
Thankyou very much man could you subscribe

Yeh it still performed great

Thank you very much mate that really means a lot and I hope your single speed conversion goes well too thanks for the support
How is the bike holding up? I'm about to make the same conversion.
I actually sold the bike but for the Time I had it singlespeed it was running well
can I do single speed only front if i have 7 speed in back and can i use stock chainring or i need to buy narrow wide?
Hi there thanks for watching I recommend you do 1x11 or 1x10
@@Aidan__Galloway oke thanks
No problem
for single speed combination, how many gear sizes ?
Love the video big man
Aye ma boy
Where did you get the kit from brother?
I got it from eBay mate
@@Aidan__Galloway Apart from the old wheel being in poor condition was there any other reason you bought a new wheel
The new wheel was because I crashed my bike and buckled it so bought a new one
What language is this?
What actually happened in that crash br?
The back wheel was fully bent and all my gearing mechanism was broken and had been skipping for a while
What brand chain tensioner is that?
Just a kit I found on eBay
@@Aidan__Galloway thanks!
Did you find the chain tensioner
Aye mate found the main bit but missing a spacer
I'm going to make a BMX bike out of my wife's old mountain bike and this is exactly how I'm going to do it
what is the wheel size?
26”
A year later and I rewatch this
more vid bro
Thank you mate there will be a new video out next week
wtf why diddent you make it a 12 speed or a 10 11
Because I wanted it to be single speed and it’s better jumping
If i get a heart...
Nooooo
