My new project, a single speed bike. what I have now is the following, and I like everyone's help how to complete this in the most sensible way.
I already have:
- RIH Mistral frame (dutch classic, 531 butted frame tubes)
- it has 126 mm rear spacing
- horizontal dropouts with adj. screws
- mudguard eyes! (but racing clearance!)
- set of wheels (Sunshine hubs, 1978) for screw on freewheels, for 126 spacing
- Campa Record double chainset (1996) or Dura Ace (1978)
- 5 spacer rings to be able to leave the inner chainring out of the equation (from my TT days)
- two brakes and levers will be used
What will I need next:
- SS freewheel: what about spacing to get a correct chainline
- what about type of chain? can I still use the old 7/8 speed chain with the freewheel?
- what about chain tension
Any input will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Frederik
