single speed

[skibum]

I have a KMC chain that I want to use but I don't have a single speed/competion compatible cassette, does anybody have parts for that or at least some tips on the best set up/what I should do?

single speed isnt "comp legal"

i suggest you find soem spacers and put on the cog that you use.

[skibum]

what I meant by single speed/competition compatible is have one cog (the one I use) larger then the rest of the cogs. That way I can have several gears yet fit a chain like the KMC on it. I need to know what kind of cogs and spacers I should use and where to get them etc...

yes it is fine.

KMC Koolchains are theoretically 3/32" (8 speed spacing) but the powerlink means you need a tiny extra spacer on one side of the cog you use. Or you could just not run the powerlink.

so...what cogs should I use? and where do I get a hold of spacers?

[Elan]

use any steel cog you can. cheapie road cassettes are popular, buy two, and you will have enough spacers, and extra cog. or find a SS kit on ebay or somthing.. gussett sells one
