Quick One Speed Conversion

I decided to reduce my gear combination options by 20.

The crankset has had the largest and granny gears removed. The barrel of the chainring nuts were a little too long and had to be ground down. The chain has been shortened as much as possible.

Removed all gear housing and cable, except a 2" piece at the rear derailleur. Removed the inner cage plate of the rear derailleur, as well as the jockey pulley.








An acorn nut fastens the tension pulley, which pushes down on the chain. A little barrel adjustment and a test ride.
