Question is: are you going SS for the first time, or are you giving up on fixed and swapping your cog for a freewheel?

Welcome KonaRider, you will not regret the decision. It's only a matter of time before we all talk you into a fixed gear for the road.

Why is it "Realm" in your post, and "Relm" on your website?
What's it gonna be?

I just took a cog from a cassette with spacers and used the rear der. as a tensioner. Then I shortened the chain and removed a bunch of parts which now means less to adjust, easier to clean and less to think about on a ride. In the words of the comic book guy " Best decision ever".
