  1. Have any of you got a 26" single speed wheel that they would like to get rid of? Ideally cheap and
    chearful as it will be going on a run around bike.

    I've been after one for ages and don't really want to go to the expense of having one built, having
    said that, I've just noticed these hubs 'On-One Inbred SS Rear hub- £40' here
    on-one.co.ukindex2.html .

    Is making a wheel around these the cheapest way I can get one?

    Thank you

    No - there are adaptor kits available that consist of two spacers, a cog and a locknut that will
    convert a standard Shimano 8/9 speed hub to singlespeed. These are around the £20 mark and you
    simply put them on in place of the cassette.

    Even cheaper, you can buy just a cog and position it on the freehub with the spacers from broken up
    cassettes or with plastic tubing.

    Shimano make (or perhaps made) individual ones for their BMX range. They are good quality with no
    shifting ramps and deep teeth. They come in 14, 15 16 &
    18in. I paid £3.50 for one not so long ago.

    On-One sell similar on-one.co.ukdrivetrain.html
