In your profile info you just list the Shogun which kind of answers my question (or maybe it's the question that was never asked), "Do people drive their SS conversions long term."

With the large amount of cheap conversion kits (both in price and quality one might suppose) do people stick with them or do they find them so frustrating to keep adjusted that they eventually abandon the conversion and buy a single speed?

I made the decision to singlespeed my Kona. I ordered a Surly cog and an Alfine tensioner. I guess I'll see how well it works long term.
