Derailleur Hanger
May/080
how do you set up a singlespeed bike?
here my dilema: i broke my derailleur hanger and a new one wont come in till tuesday. i have a 9 speed cassette. so i want to set it up as a single speed bike temporarily so i can ride and practice my tricks. but when ive seen trials riders, they still have derailleurs on their bikes even with one gear. why is that? can i set up my bike just like a BMX bike with high chain tension and no derailleur?
thanks for you help.
ok i figured it out. i tested my idea and it failed, so i understand how it works now. thanks to all who answered
No, you can definetly do it, no problem. First, take a piece of string, and warp it around your chainring, and bring it back to the cassette. Wrap it around on or two of the cogs until you find the one that makes the string go in a straight line from the chainring to the cog. This is the one you want to put the chain around. Break the chain, and wrap it around that cog, an dtake out the few extra links. Voila, a ghetto sinle speed. What you see on the trials bike isn't actually a deraileur, it's a type of chaij tensioner, like a Surly singlenator. You can make that type of tensioner from part of a derailer (the hanger and pulley withouthe the cage and second pulley) so that is why it appears to be a deraileur. This won't make your bike a true single speed, wbut it will definetly be rideable for the time being. Additionaly, you can convert a bike with vertical dropouts into a single speed, it's just harder to get the chain tension correct. It wouldn't work well as a fixed gear bike either, but it can definetly be done.
