Converting a multispeed bicycle to a single speed

carychiu · 08-24-2008, 03:05 AM

I have a 27 speed bicycle but am interested in converting it into a single speed and removing the derailleurs. Would converting it into a single speed be possible without too much hassle? Would I have to swap out my rear hub for a special one?<br />
Thanks,<br />
