hey andy, thanks for the link.

i was just about to look into that, because i ran into the second problem of the conversion:

the wheelset i bought came with a cog and a lockring. unfortunately, the cog is made for 1/8" chains. the bike has a 3/32" chain, and the chainrings up front are made for that size.

so, as i see it, here are my options:

1. go for a cheap 1/8" chainring + 1/8" chain
2. buy a cheap 3/32" fixed cog and replace the cog it came with (a SOMA 17th tooth cog).

now i kinda wish i had bought the more expensive chain link tool - the one i bought today only does 3/32."

what do you guys think? option 1 or option 2?

i was planning to eventually replace the dual chainring it has now with a bmx chainring. most bmx chainrings i see seem to be 1/8th", so maybe i should just go with 1/8th everything now?

thanks!
