I did this last night, using the Gusset SS kit. It's pretty cool, I still have no pictures (no camera yet).
I had to use the 18t cog because there was too much slack (even after taking out extra links) to use the 16t cog.

It looks nicer now that when it had a rear derailleur.

I was looking into one of those Gusset kits for my mtb conversion. I Ended up getting a Surly bmx cog and a bunch of aluminum spacers instead. What kind of chainline do you get with those? I'm looking for a conversion kit for my cyclocross bike.

the gussett kit worked well for my conversion(you can't really adjust the chainline with it) but it is designed to line up with the middle ring on a standard three ring MTB crank

The chainline is straight, I have it on the middle ring (the large ring is actually a rockguard, the gearing is 18t/36t.

I try to post a picture of it this weekend.
