Hey all ...

Trying to simplify with my new commuter, so thinking of using the wheels I have lying around and running a 1 x 7 (that's what the wheels are). What do I need to look out for when doing this? I've built up bikes before, but nothing with this kind of set up.

BB? Chain type? Chain line? Dog fang or non-functioning FD?

Frame is without a BB at the moment, so anything is open in that regard. I will be running 105 DT shifters in friction mode.

This is going to be a beater / commuter, so I'm trying to build it out of old parts I have lying around rather than buy a new group / wheels for it.

Thanks!
