Planning on converting my old bike to single speed for winter duties.
I intend to use my middle ring from my current Deore chainset - do I really need SS specific chainring bolts? Will the existing ones be too long once I have removed the outer ring? (can't remember the bolt pattern off top of my head - i'm at work)
Other than that, current shopping list is SS specific chain, converter kit with sprocket and spacers and then a tensioner. Oh, and I know I'll need to grow a beard too...
