on sunday after i returned home from the trails i needed something to do. i needed something to keep myself occupied so i wouldn't drink a bunch of beer and be worthless in the evening.
i had a 99ish jamis explorer that todd and i had converted to single speed one night for shea. we didn't do a very good job. mostly we just took off the the gears and shifters and put some spacers and a cog on a different rear wheel and called it done. the brakes rubbed everywhere as the wheels were out of true. the wheel slipped constantly since it was a quick release. the pedals weren't even good enough to warrant a description. and so on...
so i pulled my old converted rock hopper into the house and began to disassemble. i swapped the crankset from the specialized and began toying with gear ratios. i swapped saddles and front wheels too. gathered up my tires and tubes and began the mix-up.
when i finsh the conversion i will post pictures. i think this will be my full-time fixed off road bike now instead of flip-flopping the rear wheel on my khs. we'll see how it turns out.
