I have bought one of Voodoo Wanga frames.

Im thinking of building it up single speed. Whats the best way to do this?

Do i get a s/s cog for my freehub body? Or should i get a dedicated s/s hub? For either route, id appreciate recommendations on what kit to buy.

thanks

Ian

I got a singlespeed cog/spacer kit from velosolo, they're pretty cheap and do the job.

I just used spacers and a SS cog on a standard freehub.

Talk to Charlie he'll sort you out everything you need. I use a Gusset double 6 cog kit, it has the spacers in it and will fit a standard alloy free hub and not chew it up. Mr bike-monger is a descent fella too. 😀

Never had a problem running spacers and sprocket, far easier to adjust chain line.

First, you need a beard.
Second, speak to the bikemonger.
Third, you need strong knees.

Fourth, you'll need a hip flask.
