Is it possible to convert a 12 speed?
 
Hey guys, this is my first post and I just got a ross signature series road bike for beating around the city. It has horizontal dropouts and has a 12 speed shimano setup. Is there any single speed conversion kits that would fit the 12 speed? I was looking at the one from wheels manufacturing. It says it will only fit 8 or 9 speeds,but could i work on the 12? thanks in advance , matt

The conversion kits are for freehub setups, and you have a freewheel setup. Just pull off the cassette, redish the wheel, and thread on a bmx freewheel. SS goodness.

EDIT - if any of that was over your head, cruise over to sheldon brown.
