finished 1st single speed conversion and having problems. need suggestions.
Ok so I converted this '69~ Raleigh Grand Prix. Shimano bottom bracket 110 x 68 i believe. Iro crankset. The fork wouldnt take the 700 wheels so my lbs suggested just just shaving a bit off the crevice where it takes the bolts for the front wheel hub. Anyways, I bought these weinman wheelset off craigslist. No name hubs 60 f-ing dollars. And I went riding with a few buddys but I feel they are going faster than me even though I have the same/better cadence than some of the other riders. I probably answered my own question but I think I need a better wheel set. Does anyone else think differently or is my set up all wrong. I have a pretty straight chain line. Around 200 bucks is my budget. Suggestions Please!!!
