=========================================================
Ebay listed company called Bicyclesupply has a really good and good value set up for the rear end of a singlespeed. It consists of a chain tensioner, a 18 sprocket and spacers. It's for a Shimano cassette hub. Take the cassette off, fit the sprocket and spacers and tensioner(fits where the derailleur would go) , shorten the chain and after checking the chain alignment tighten the lockring and that's about it(remove cables and shifters too).
Happy singlespeeding🙂
