Result!

Got my bike back from bb fitting this week and really wanted a rear wheel and some peddles so that I can run it.

After speaking to an old mate on Facebook he said he had a halo disc fitment rear wheel, dmr single speed, xt rear mech, irc tire and cum pedals for 30 quid!

I think i got a bargain for that little lot! Also picked up a 9 speed shimano deore shifter - it has no cable though - will this be a problem or can the bike shop fit a new one easily enough?

Have a look directly opposite the hole where the cable leaves the shifter for a hole or a phillips head plastic screw. If there's a hole there put the shifter into top gear (hit the forefinger lever until the shifter stops changing) and stick a new cable in through this hole and out the cable exit hole. If there's a plastic cover unscrew it and then stick the cable in. Getting the cable out the other side of the shifter can sometimes be a pain, but it usually only takes a minute.

Cheers Chap...

Was sure it could be done - as soon as I collect the bits from my missus dad i'll be fitting them to see how it all goes. If needed i'll drop it into the bike shop and get them to do the work as when i change the single speed and add the 9 gearset and derailleur i will need a new chain too...

Gonna try running it on a single chain ring up front for now - if this proves to underpowered then i'll buy some new cranks and derialleur and convert it to a 27 speed.

All in all i've got a pretty good set of parts for the frame so just hope they go together nicely and look the part...
