I just finished setting my bike up for a single speed. It is set up to run 52-20 (although I may take it down to 52-18 depending on how pedaling is around town). I am using a "singlespeed kit" that uses a chain tensioner.
I still have the double chainring in front (52/42) but I am wondering how many out there run a double chainring?
I saw that Sheldon Brown made mention of using a double chainring in one of his articles. Most of the hills in my area a small and have gradual inclines so the debate is raging in my head whether to keep it or to reduce even more weight and remove it.
