It can only work on bikes that have equal thickness chainring, for bikes like mine that had a staggered thickness front chainring I unfortunately just had to eat the extra slack and go through about 4 different sized front chainrings until I found one that would allow little enough slack to not fly off the front ring!

Great idea. If possible, use a pin for a wider chain. For example if you're using a 10 speed chain (which is what I always do when the 10 speed chains are worn to .75 on my road or mountain bike, they are re-used on my single speed) then I will use a pin from an 8 or 9 speed chain to join. It's okay that the ends of the pin sit wider than the chain because it's a single speed the wider pin won't interfere with other gears or shifting. This creates a stronger connection and you can see and feel where the chain was joined easily.

Been thinking about converting my aggressive hard tail to single speed, it’s been on my mind why people haven’t tried using half link chains instead of chain tensioners, so good job. Just need to see if I can keep up with my mates on the trails with one gear. I spent 20 years riding Bmx so love the idea of the simple single speed
@extremkrem6223 жыл бұрын
I just built up a Dartmoor Primal single speed, absolutely loving it. Only thing is that with a push down tensioner the chain skips when Im torquing it hard on a steep bit. Can't go with a halflink because of narrowwide chainring, but I'm going to try using the tensioner pushing the chain up instead of down.
