bonjour post 98 section.
just bought a 2 year old budget 29er. it weighs a ton so plan on a single speed conversion to remove the tat.
last night i grabbed the necessary parts off my klein but then realised the 29er has a 7 speed freewheel as opposed to a cassette.
the hub is a quando and the freewheel shimano.

1. what tools do i need to remove said freewheel?
2. is it a case of tool in, chainwhip on, turn tool?
replacing it with a single speed set up - how do i do this? is it possible to adjust the chainline or will i have to do that through the front end set up
also what gearing should i be looking at? 26" i tend to ride 38/16 ish
thanks guys n gals
