Reverse Components Single Speed Conversion Kit

This kit is designed to fit standard HG-style freehub bodies, which are the most common type found on mountain bike wheels. It will not work with XD or Microspline drivers, so verify your hub type before purchasing.

Yes, you will need a standard cassette lockring tool and a chain whip to remove your existing cassette and tighten the lockring on this conversion kit. A bottom bracket tool or wrench is also required to operate the cassette tool.

A 13t sprocket is a standard gear ratio for dirt jumping and urban riding, offering a balance between acceleration and top speed. If you are planning to use this for long-distance trail riding, you may find the gear ratio quite heavy, so consider your chainring size carefully to achieve your desired cadence.

Yes, the kit includes the necessary spacers to position the sprocket correctly on your freehub body. This allows you to align the sprocket with your chainring for a straight chainline, which is critical for preventing the chain from dropping.

While it is possible to use a multi-speed chain, we highly recommend pairing this kit with a dedicated single-speed chain. Single-speed chains are wider and more robust, providing better engagement with the sprocket teeth and increased durability under the higher torque loads common in single-speed riding.
