you don't even need a chain tensioner you could just use your derailer.

really you could do it for free by finding an old worn out cassette and disassemling it for spacers taking appart your cassette for more spacers and the right cog. Or you can just use the cogs on your current cassette as spacers.


Idealy you would buy a new ss specific cog, chainring, chain, and a dedicated chain tensioner(still less then $100 total). but thats not at all neccessary if you are on a budget. The only reason to buy a dedicated hub is if you want a flip flop(different gears on each side) or if you want a stronger wheel(less space for cassette or freewheel=less dish=stronger).
