... the Forte single-speed conversion kit ($35, often on sale for $25) works really well. This was the easiest and least expensive conversion so far. The spacers make the whole chainline problem a piece of cake. And the kit comes with three cogs (16, 18 &20) and a lockring.

Oh yeah, here's the rest of the bike. I had to leave the big chainring on, because it is all part of one assembly and can't be removed. Owners of old Peugeots will know what I'm talking about.

The new(er) rear wheel with the freehub was sitting around my garage. It's a 700c, but all I had to do was slightly pivot the center-pull brake pads and it worked out great. Amazing how much weight I saved by replacing the old steel wheel with large freewheel, compared to the new ss setup.

Nice find, thanks for the info. Might give me a use for that mtb wheelset that's laying around.

Yeah I have it.. I purchased the Forte single-speed conversion kit on sale for $ 24 bucks last week.. I didn't set it up my bike yet.. will be soon..

Thank you for sharing with this forums.. thumb up!
