All you gotta do is cut a few nuts. Create your own single speed crank from a 2 ring or 3 ring crank set by trimming the chainring bolts. This video shows you how no extra hardware required, just a couple tools: Allen wrench, chainring bolt tool (maybe), hacksaw, vise and file.

  • @ShowAlmosteverything thats what I did, worked fine

  • Why TF!!!! WOULD YOU DO A VIDEO AND NOT SHOW THE RESULTS OF YOUR WORK?....... YOU SHOOT ALL THIS TO SAY WHAT???

  • Why don't you just put washers on the bolts? I just put little washers on each bolt, fits perfect and super tight. Don't cut the bolts, that's just stupid. Plus, if you ever want to put gears back on the bike, take the washers off, bolt the other ring on, the end.

  • can i use a single ring crankset?

  • my bolt was gay not straight, so it been fuckd up :)

  • wouldnt it be easier to put a "washer" to fill in the space instead of cutting

  • Is that a Bingo or a Bango at 7:08?

  • its not a chain ring by the way its a sproket

  • Umm, it costs like 5 dollars to get shorter bolts, they're called stack bolts and ALL bike shops have them. Saves you a lot of work and they'll be way better than the ones you cut yourself.

  • he has a lisp
