This Thanksgiving morning I decided to take my trusty Sette Reken Single Speed and convert it to a 1×3. I’ve had this project in mind for a few months and decided to execute it this morning while the family was still asleep.
First step was to get a cassette and remove all but three cogs. I left on the 17,20 and 23t cogs.
I also mounted a Shimano Deore rear derailleur. I like how it matched the frame…hehe
I used an Ultegra chain…cuz that’s how I roll.
I also grabbed a Shimano Alivio 8speed shifter that I had laying around.
I finished it off with some hot pink Jagwire shifter cables/housing. It goes great with the black!
Here’s the finished product. I plan on using this set up at the next Tour De Tryptophan, also known as 24 hours of Fullerton.
That’s totally cool. Let us know how it works…
Did you just use limit screws to limit the derailleur? (I’m an SS guy, so sort of a noob to this.)
Pretty much.I think I ended up having to use longer screws to make it work.
yes and I used a friction shifter.
