Submitted by Hallicraft a from Wyoming
Date Reviewed: December 7, 2007
Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
Price Paid: $20.00
Purchased At:ebay
Strengths:Simple, four pieces, well made, cheap
Weaknesses:Two chainline adjustments
Similar Products Used:none
Bike Setup:Trek 8500 frame, 32/16
Bottom Line:If it works, it works. The chainline is real close, nothing out of place. Got lucky, with a half link no tensioner needed. Can see why it wouldn't work in every case, but it's clean.
For $25, take a chance.

Favorite Trail:Hartshorne Park
Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
Price Paid: $20.00
Purchased At:Pricepoint
Strengths:Simple installation, Cheap
Weaknesses:Lack of cog choices
Similar Products Used:None, this is my first SS
Bike Setup:Haro V4 frame, Manitou Sliver fork, Cane Creek headset, FMF cranks, Easton EA50 stem, Azonic Strip Bars, Shimano XT hubs w/ Sun Rhyno-lite rims, WTB All- terrainasaurus tires, Gusset single speed conversion kit
Bottom Line:This kit is the ultimate in ease when converting to a SS. I'm building my SS from the ground up and I went for this kit from the start. It fits perfectly on my Shimano hub and even though it only came w/ two spacers I got the perfect chainline on the first try. I dont know how it's gonna hold up over the long haul but as for the initial install it's excellent. Plus it's 20 bucks. How do you go wrong?

Submitted by Philip a Cross Country Rider from San Diego, CA, USA
Date Reviewed: June 8, 2006
Duration Product Used:Tested or demo'ed only
Price Paid: $20.00
Strengths:The kit looks clean and well made.
Weaknesses:It does not work on my rear hub made by SuperGo.
Bottom Line:The spacers look strong and clean as well as the 2 clogs included. They slide on the hub with no problems... but when come to tighten the locking ring, it prevented my hub from spinning freely! =/ Not sure if the thread of the locking ring is too deep or the hub wasn't compatible. It's a wheelset by the old SuperGo.. Method XC. I'll see if Gausset has a customer support dept. to help me get this thing working.. or I'll try Renen's spacer system next.

Purchased At:Jensonusa.com
Strengths:It goes on well, it fits well, and it does it job perfectly.
Weaknesses:I don't know if I can get it off to change the cogs

Bike Setup:KHS DJ100 with a Static Stance, 20mm thru axle fork, bb5 in the front and bb7 in the rear, DK sprocket and KHS OEM cranks. Its heavy but I like it.
Bottom Line:If you want to go single speed this is the way to go. If you think you want to try single speed this is the way to go. If you just like to ride this is the way to go.

My overal experience was great, I purchased it from Jenson USA, and they really take care of there customers.

Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month

Strengths:Nice & Sturdy. Comes with 2 chrome cogs. Gave me a perfect chainline.
Weaknesses:None so far..Hopefully the lockring doesnt rust.
