I made the transition on my 07 komodo to single speed. At first, I was alittle hesitant but thought in time it would be good for me. (it also keeps people from wanting to borrow it haha). I rode it yesterday and surprisingly I was faster than normal. I was leaving my buddy who has 18 speeds behind me. Dont get my wrong, there were one or two hills that my legs just couldnt do yet, but it was my first time riding SS. So far, I love it.
It made riding more aggressive more fun, I dont think about what gear or hear any noise, I just try to rip as hard as I can while keeping tire side down.
That brings me to this- I dont have a chainguide and I definitely need something for a little extra tension on the front.
So far I have boiled it down to a BB mount stinger, or a blackguard. Which one do you think might be a better option? I can make my own blackguard, so that is one upside to that option. I also notice e.13 has a very simple bb mount chainguide for XC use, very minimal for racing. I am not sure what its called, but I dont beleive I can use a bash with that one.
Any ideas or suggestions?
