Re: [RBW] Single Speed Conversion Help

I would follow Patrick's advice for the easiest conversion possible. Bicycles on campus have a habit of disappearing, so any money you spend is likely to go into the pocket of a bicycle thief. Pick a midrange gear, take off the derailleurs, and shorten the chain. Have your son check with the

Speaking as a rider who uses clipless pedals and shoes, I certainly appreciate this, and I'm sure that riders of flat pedals will extend this courtesy to me. Same goes, I would hope, for Lycra vs loose shorts, jersey vs non-jersey, bar height, etc., etc. We all put a lot of thought into where

Re: [RBW] Reasonably priced rust-resistant chain?

I haven’t used on of these, but I’m generally suspicious of anti-friction coatings on chains and chainrings. Campagnolo started adding a coating to their chainrings a few years ago, and it was widely reported to wear off quickly. I properly lubricated chain should be able to resist corrosion
