Converting bike to Singlespeed
Hello.
Im going to convert my bike to a single speed after alot of problems with my gears.
this is the bike i have right now,
https://www.cycleurope.se/downloadfil...r-gr%C3%A5.jpg
its totally Stripped down.
its going in for a Paintjob.
First off, i need to ask if i got this right.
I will buy a Single speed kit, and also one new Chainring to use for my Crank?
What Sprocket do you recommend?, 16t 17t or 18t? i get really confused.
when choosing the right chainring i count how many ''arms'', so on my crank at the moment there are 5.
But how to choose the right size on the chainring?.
I'm Comin to new york city in 2 weeks and wonder if theres a good shop that have these kinds of items im looking for?
Best Regards from sweden.
