rich_hill Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 I currently ride a phase 1.2 and i am looking to convert it to run single speed. I want to reaplce the rim and hub as well, and do it all at once. What are the recommended hubs if i want to run single speed? Also what else do i require? If someone could advice a list of products i need, then I can get ordering. Many Thanks Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsrider101 Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 (edited) Hi it all depends on how much you are willing to spend because there are some easy ways of converting to singlespeed for instance, The expensive way; hope pro2 freehub or profile hub or chris king all good rear hubs but the pro 2 would require a single speed kit aswell and there are loads of available makes and models. The inexpensive way if your rear hub is not a cassette as in the old screw on freewheels go to your lbs if you dont have tool get them to remove it buy a new freewheel like a echo sl or something similar screw it on and away you go. hope this helped Edited September 25, 2010 by trialsrider101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich_hill Posted September 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=11034 So this hub then, what else would i require, or would this run straight off my current front sprocket? I read it's 48 engagements, is that good bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rab shropshire Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 what size sprocket do you have up front right now and are the cranks running a chainring or screw on sprocket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich_hill Posted September 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 what size sprocket do you have up front right now and are the cranks running a chainring or screw on sprocket If I'm honest I have no idea. It's the standard front ring and cranks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 If it was me (and it is basically as this is what I did) I'd get an Echo TR fixed rear hub, trialtech 15t screw on sprocket, echo SL front freewheel, whatever bashring takes your fancy, and then try and pick up some 2nd hand cranks off here. If you were to buy cranks new as well then get some trialtech sport forged 175mm and an ISIS bottom bracket if you haven't already got one fitted.

TomN Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Best go check what parts you got pal. Then we can give you better info. But just a quick info, Hope Pro 2T hub on a nice thick rear sprocket, I'd go for 15T and 18T on front. But that's my choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
