Specialized Singlespeed.

That looks ace!! I bet it would be 'sillylite' with a rigid pace fork

I used to have a yellow s/work that I was gonna give the singlespeed treatment too, never got round to it though Kinda wish I had after seeing this

Those cranks look sooo nice with a single ring... nice work

Thanks mate, its pretty light as it is but damn, why did I sell my RC31's

Being a crap rider I'm not really a fan of bikes that are too light but, it would be a blast to try it rigid It'd skip up the climbs a treat

I think we have all learned the lesson why did we sell things .....and later found a new use for them .......

Half link

Yup, Surly, went for the push up option as I have space, looks er as well.
Chainring is Gusset....thick as.
Another cool bit of kit that I got was a half-link for the chain, really helped getting the tension.

Hey matey, any chance of some details on the 1/2 link :?:

My singlespeed could do with a little modification and this may help

Well it really is just that, a clever little half-link for better adjustability..got mine from charliethebikemonger on Ebay.
Think I might have had his last one :roll: but give him a mail.
Hope that helps

Those half links are really clever.. Do you still need the surly tensioner? What size half link did you go for? Are you using a specific single speed chain? He still has some on his website.. I could do with one..

Like this. Must try out SSing at some point.

Tension was pretty good without the surly, but belt and braces etc, and the chain will stretch, and I'm no larry-lightweight, didn't want to be pounding those cranks uphill and having the chain jump.

Chain is SS specific, 3/32 as is the half link

PS I'm only a beginner with this SS lark, I'm sure other people will give you better advice
