Single speed

[Mr3wheeledbike]

Will it ever move that is the question

[minkyman8]

fail



[novak458]

i have seen that on a old cricus unicycle that was about six feeet tall at the Ringling Museum, Idk if i would run that on my own rig, but it is cool

[UnivegaSuperSport]

That's what they use on tandems to keep tension on the synch chain. Those people who ask whether it stay on, and those who laugh because the bike fell, you should get together and try to figure things out among yourselves.

[mycieran]

exiting

[BikeAnarchist]

isn't it better to remove a couple of links? or even better get a real chain tensioner

[zazenzach]

that's dangerous as fuck dude. if that were to fall out while your in the middle of traffic, you could potentially get yourself killed.

totally not worth it

[IAINMAN96]

What an ingenious method!

[GrandmasMan]

nice!

[c4d3t]

thats very creative lolz nice work =P

[europa51]

bravo

[neillshurville1]

what is the point

[xXxXxusaxXxXx]

@neillshurville1 to tighted the chain

[scubadiver75]

definitely gay

[robbdogga]

uh why???

driver and sprockets all you need.

oh and p.s ahahahahahahahahaha it fell over

[Repayable]

he has vurtical dropouts

[Fadinox]

KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABOOOOOOOOOOOOM­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xDDDDDDD

[oOKillerLemonOo]

lolololol the bike fell

[hellspawndarkangel]

um can some1 please tell me wat is the point of this??

[wickerman45]

because with vertical drop outs, you need a tensioner to pick up the slack of the chain when building a single speed.

This is the job of the ghost ring... in my oppinion though, he could've shortened the chain a bit more and put a smaller ring in it for a ghost ring.

SO its job is to keep the chain tensioned without having a tensioner bouncing around on the trails.

"Its so stupid that it's positively brilliant!"

[TimmaFrank]

LOL cool third wheel... any change of that falling off?

[radge6]

nice chain tensioner im sure it will work and sell better that the dmr one.

[tylerlangbert]

hahaha u nig rig it

[nadeem555]

wow great, so what the fuck is that supposed to do?

[creamsoda89]

it keeps the chain tensioned so that it's nice and tight. sometimes taking links out doesn't work perfectly for vertical dropouts, and this is cooler than a chain tensioner.

[kaffiristan]

will try this or halflink chain , glaad it withstood a crash test , loose its a flying dic!

[Rydeyourbike]

wont thaat fall out? LMFAO your bike fell over AHAHAHAHA!!!

[1H31C3M4N]

dosnt that fall off when u bike?

[colin340]

we use them in robotics all the time

[timmahh2k7]

i bmx but i have a jump bike or what ever with only front forks...it is a 7 speed...i was wondering how i can go single speed pleeeease

[mys0ck]

easy, pick the speed take the chain off and re aply it to the speeds you want (MAKE SURE TO TAKE OF DERAILERS) once you have the chain and derailers off your bike put the chian o the speeds you perfure and shorten the chain living just a little bit lose so your chain dosnt snap or come apart....

[timmahh2k7]

i tried that lol n then it kept jumping about

n then got stuck and the chain was unbelievably tight...so i needa tensioner to fix it and then im selling it =D

[IsaacBickerstaffEsq]

"MAKE SURE TO TAKE OF DERAILERS"

This is not necessary for a single speed, only for a fixed a gear; indeed, if you leave the derailer on you can make a 7 speed manually changeable (no flip flopping needed) gear set with just a few inches of cable.

[IsaacBickerstaffEsq]

Easy, put in the gear you like, then leave it there.

[unregisteredcoward]

The actual term is "Ghost Ring"

[angliru23]

So that tensions the chain? how many teeth does the third ring have?

[rollaboy1]

Thats cool as... in australia (where i am) we call them ghost rings... and that video is only made funnier by the fact that your bike fell over :)

Nice work

[BruceCampbell747]

Thats a very epic video

[kieraelise]

ha ha ha

[toby0]

it must fall out

[sideshowhello]

i can assure you it does not fall out ...

i still use it for a hack bike for gettting to work on but i have since bought a gary fisher rig for real SS work !

[patdeman]

does it ever fall out?

[patdeman]

lol
