Ok. My roadie is in need of some major drivetrain replacement after a winter of commuting in London (Why do they salt the roads so freakin' much? It just isn't possible to clean your bike twice a day!), but cash is limited due to spanky new Rebas going on the hardtail next week. :cool:
Anyway, seeing as the roadie is exclusively being used as a commuter at present, I was thinking it would be way cheaper and kinda fun to just turn it into a singlespeed for now. I can get a tensioner and a conversion kit for the back for not much, but how do I do the front end on the cheap? Can I just take off the big ring and the granny from my current crankset, ignore the ugliness and use the middle ring and the cranks I've already got? Doesn't have to be classy, just has to work! :o
TIA. :)
