Hi Everybody,

New jack here so big ups and much respect to those keeping this community alive.

Now on to the ?

Has anyone converted an old Suntour Perfect 5-speed freewheel to a single speed. If so, how? So far, I've found that I need a dual spline tool to take off the freewheel but don't know how to take off the sprockets. Then, once I have the sprockets off, I'll need spacers for the missing sprockets. Does anyone know if special spacers are required for this old freewheel? Alternatively, I've read that I can use pvc piping to fill in the gaps. Does this work well and is there wear on the pipe to where I'll have to replace the spacers regularly. Clearly, I want to do this to avoid getting a single speed freewheel and then respacing and redishing. Anyway, thanks in advance for any help yall can give me.

Btw, I'm referencing a previous post for info:

"to make a quick and easy ss out of a road bike you remove the cogs from the cassette. you keep the cog you want and use either cassette spacers (from lbs) of cut down vinyl drainpipe to place that cog at the correct point along the cassette spindle to achieve correct chainline (straight line, viewed from above/behind) between cog and chainring.

change the chain to a bmx one, as road chains are designed to flex along their length to facilitate shifting. you don't want that."

Peace!
