Check out charliethebikemonger plenty of info on there. You'll need...
Sprocket, spacer & lockring kit.
Tensioner.
Narrow chainring bolts.

Beard. Sandals. Leather pants will come later.

Don't mess around, get a Salsa cog, or an On-One groove armada. Buy cheap; buy twice and spend a considerable amount of time cursing a cheapo wonky sprocket.

Besides that see also Mr Sheldon Brown's site (apparently still kept going by those good folks at Harris Cyclery, who deserve massive props for doing so, still the best place for arcane cycling info). And get a 29er, it works better on a 29er. (For me anyway, your results may vary)
