I have an vintage French frame Meral with BB intact and rear Maillard wheel with cyclo 72 freewheel (5 speed cogs).
I would like to convert this to a single speed and have a few questions.
Can I keep the Cyclo 72 freewheel and adjust with spacers or is there an easier/better alternative ? What information do I need to be careful of before buying a crankset ? Are all square taper crank fits the same ?
Before rushing out an buying some bits, a little knowledge might be a good idea.
