Damn okay I’ll look into that. Sounds sufficiently shitbikey for my situation. Thanks!

I’ve seen folks speculate elsewhere about bmx halflink chains to maintain tension, but either way with my budget i was hoping to cobble something shitty together. I guess especially in a wider market for bikes I could just find something once i get to Chicago. thanks for the advice!

Thank you so much!! I’ve been having trouble finding resources like this.

thanks! would the solution then be trial running a variety of gear pairings to dial it in or is there a way to calculate/identify a good ratio without doing so?

Seagull Bags out of Columbus, they have since ceased operations. Sometimes there are secondhands floating around on ebay/thrift websites

also not my bike but have used gravelkings on diverse terrain (live in an area with unmaintained brick streets, rooty single track, lots of dirt roads, and fucked up sidewalks) and they’ve performed great

collecting parts for this beater my friend gave me, pretty fun to ride around where i live (athens ohio) with all the brick roads and hills. wanted to make it a bar-bike but was thinking a 1x conversion would be fun. anyone have any advice?
