The pressure was OOOONNNN for this one. Dragged out some old footage for an abandoned video and tried to make it interesting. BTW, YouTube's blur tool sucks! If you need to blur something complicated then do it it post. Now off to learn a new skill in after effects so I can get the other video to you guys! Never fear homies, I'm on it!

[imotvoksim]

Love the groovy music, the pause to hear the wheel go 'brrrr' and of course the informative content. Good one!

[nathanlamarre]

This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Thanks!

[katsunaricastro]

I love simple videos like this, keep it up.

[RomeOpalec]

appreciate the editing in this video. great job!

How does the weight of this repurposed freewheel compare to a single speed freewheel? Having a light rear end is one of the biggest benefits of single speeds. Plus the cost of a single speed freewheel should be much less than the value of the multispeed freewheel you are replacing.

[luigiprovencher]

Yeah. Now how do you do this with a vertical drop in? Freewheel style. Gets much more complicated according to all of the bike shops I've called.

[FreshAirRules]

Wouldn't it be preferable to have a down tube frame like some mountain bikes?

[klompex]

Sorry I know nothing about bicycles, but why do that? Doesnt shifting give a big advantage?

[dalefehring]

You installed a fixed cog so the cranks won't stop moving once your underway, what about if you want to fit a free wheel cog.

[abstract]

this was so well put....although i searched for the opposite and clicked this, then wondered "this doesn't seem right..."

[Zinart]

This video did help me out I just what Intell Friday to order the tools I need

[verruckt]

Very informative video! Della asks why would one convert to a bike to a single speed? 😀 Looking forward to the next Ep! 👊🏻👊🏻

[armayusof-itec]

what do u call the thing that u put to make the cog elevated, ? at 49 in the vid..

[kousukesaki]

What are the sizes of the spacers on the hubs??

[havif]

Hi Matt nice video! But do you think you can convert it with road bike frame with a vertical dropout?

[funwithry]

Nice! Any link to buy a single speed conversion kit? 🙏🏼

[melcrawford]

Yeah Matt i was wondering the same thing

[SnootchieBootchies]

Not gonna pull it off in 90 seconds when you don't know which way to use the chain whip

[hentaicrypto]

I want to turn my e-bike into a single speed since I use only one speed anyway and I want to make it easier to clean my chain during the winter. But my question is, do you need a smaller crankset diameter or a bigger one if you want to make it so I can still pedal to give power when I'm going higher speeds?
