Right, I need to pop my SS cherry...... I am going to give singlespeeding a go....ready for the winter as I live/ride in a muddy area....

I have a budget of around £500 or less, any suggestions ?

I have a couple of bikes and converting either one of them to singlespeed is not an option.

Cheers. 😀

3 years ago, I bought a horizontal dropout Inbred off here for low money and just put it together with whatever I could find as a cheap trial of s/s, reckoning that I wouldn't get on with it. Can't remember costs but it couldn't have been more than £500.

After some messing around with ratios, I settled on the magic 32:16. Absolutely loved it, it gets taken out regularly, and I wouldn't dream of getting rid of it. And apart from some unsuccessful faffing with tubeless this year, maintenance is virtually nothing.

Good luck!
