For anyone thinking of converting a non SS frame to SS, this http://eehouse.org/fixin/formfmu.php might come in handy. If you don't know what this is, don't worry, you soon will!

On one Inbred, from here.
Crosser wheels, from here.
Forks, had these, they're white.
Questions:
The wheels are heavy, suspension forks are heavy. Am I missing the point of building a singlespeed? Should I be going as light as possible and fitting rigid forks and a lighter wheelset?
I have a SS kit, well a cog and 2 spacers that put the sprocket in the centre of the freehub. Is it possible to work out what spindle length for the BB? I have yet to buy a crankset.

It all depends where you ride. If, like me, you'll be mincing around the North Downs, the hardest rocks being sandstone, and you're too old and/or skilful to thunp the bike from boulder to boulder, you can go as light as you like, but if you have a tendency to break things, keep it sturdy!
had a few single speed bikes, i love them.
currently have just the one at the moment though, even though i keep planning on other builds........
the main difference with this other my past SS projects is the awesome ENO white industries hubs......wow!

Is the rear hub eccentric? Any slippage / tension loss?
