is it worth going single speed at the front on mi giant ac?

[jo91el]

he im thinking about going single speen on mi 06 giant ac and was wondering wat would be the best way to go about it is it worth jst takeing off a chain ring and the derailer or buying an ready made unit like e 13 or something if any one could help me and guide me on the right path on wat to do and how much it will cost it would be much apeciated cheers joel

Well first of all, singlespeed is where you have 1 chainring at the front and no gears at the back, and second of all thats impossible on a Giant AC because you'll snap your Chain.

Now, if your going to go SINGLE RING on the front, theres absoloutly no point unless your guna put a chainguide on. E.G. E13 - infact E13 are good. If you dont have enough for an E13, either get one from overseas for half the price, or buy a Race Face Diabolous because they're also a great guide for cheap.

Meh, press the search button on the top and look for chainguides. Ssooo many threads on them already.

Yeah mate it is definatly worth doing. I did it on my 05ac and my brother recently did it on his 06ac.
Pretty much there are two options.
1. Buy a "giant" brand roller thigo that screws onto your bike (what i have) it has two rollers and a bash plate thing. Pick one of these up for about $80. This is prob not the best, ive had to customise mine.
2. Buy a chain device eg)E13 or Mr dirt are good, these will set you back around $200-$300 so its pretty XXX
*You then have to buy a new chain and a new chain ring which will be about $100 for those.
All in all its expensive to do but if you want to do DH its almost a nessecity.

*You then have to buy a new chain
What the fuck, why new chain?

[Alec McJo]

Fucks sake mate, learn to type/spell properly... all your posts are a mess of incomprehensible garbage. If you could spell out the problem properly (bad pun, woohoo), we'd be better able to help you.
