CalopS Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 you need one of these. they go on your hub people were probably talking about not been able to use freewheels on the cranks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LROB87 Posted April 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 (edited) you need one of these. they go on your hub people were probably talking about not been able to use freewheels on the cranks. thanks bud! what about a chain tensioner? isn't 18t better with 22 up front than 16? and will a tensile 60 click freewheel be ok on the rear?

isitafox Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 If you've got a fixed rear hub the tensile will work, if you've got a freehub then you need a set of spacers and a single sprocket. As for a chain tensioner you'll get away with a single wheeled one due to having to run a larger rear sprocket than 15t like this http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/sprung_tensioners/4jeri_tensioner/c48p10179.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
