Luke Rainbird Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Crack apart your cassette (knock out pins)Find some extra spacers (you may need to crack another cassette, perhaps an old one or something)Choose your cog and fit it in the same manner you would a singlespeed setMay still need a tensioner of some sort, unless you are running horizontal dropouts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Pop down to your LBS and see if theyhave any old cassettes/spacers kicking about, if so pinch those so you still have yours in tact but can have a play. The pins should just tap out, and I'm sure they would do it for you if you asked nicely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
