What do i need to do this?
I already have the chainring(original 32t),chain,singlespeed kit(spacers and 16t cog)
Could someone reccomend a lightweight front bashguard or may run without one!Do i need special chainring spacers and can i run a 15t cog on the back??
Many thanks ๐Ÿ˜€

General rule is an unramped chainring, but see no reason why the one you've got wont work.
Bash would be personal choice but I never bothered.
And the 15t would be personal and depend on where you are riding. I happily ran a 32:16 in Calderdale/Peaks/Saddleworth. Wasn't always ideal and occasionally resulted in walking towards the end of a ride on the worst hills, but some of that was me being out of shape!

I may be missing something but see no reason for the cranks to matter as the spacers at the back will allow you to tweak the chainline a bit. You may need some shorter chainring bolts if you haven't already btw.
