Sir_Hops_Alot Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Hi guys, well as most of you know i have a mad phase 1.2 and am soon to be making it single speed. Vee is sorting me out with a single speed DMR kit, but i just want to check what i need he said i need a chain whip and a casset tool, oh and a half link chain, as i want no tensioner. Is this easy to do by myself aswell?thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will_R Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Yeh man, nice and easy to do yourself.But you're probally gonna need to run a tensioner or rear mech even with a half link chain as it's unlikely you'll find a good tension without one. Also the chain will strech over time so even if you find a good tension without a tensioner it wont stay tight for all that long. My shadow con half link on my street bike streched about 4/5 links from new in a fortnight. Just get a cheap short cage rear mech.Hope that made sense Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koxxtrials Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 i would keep it how it is because say if you go for a ride a bit away you can pedal faster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
