Giant triple to single speed
Postby MDL » Thu Oct 27, 2011 2:24 pm
Just brought a mates 3 year old gaint for something to learn about bikes on. Was thinking about making it a single speed but it has a triple on the front and the largest is a 52 ring. Would I have to replace this or could I get something to fit on the back? I was just going to use a conversion kit on the back but I'm not sure weather this would work.
I'll post photos later and see what u guys think.

But would it would for the right ratio? I live in a nice hilly place.

As to calculating ratios for your situation, try THIS, courtesy of Sheldon Brown. It'll give you an idea of the best chainring size for your situation.
