5MV-S27 – Emergency Single Speed

Sometimes things go wrong and your rear gear-changer becomes unusable. The answer is an emergency single speed conversion. In this short, I detail a recent problem that meant that I had to convert my bike to single speed.

About the 5MV channel
————————————–
My name is Terry and I love cycling. I have named my channel “Five Minute Velo” (5MV). I have called it 5MV because the videos I upload will (mostly) last no longer than five minutes. Each video will cover just one subject that is described in the title. Although the channel is mainly about cycling on the road, I will also cover some light (gravel) off road riding and cycle touring from time to time. No matter what, much of the advice will be pertinent to many branches of the sport/pastime.
I am new to posting videos on YouTube (May 2020) and I have much to learn, particularly in terms of presentation style and production quality. As such I welcome constructive comments that will help me improve the videos that I produce and upload.
There may be some dry humor in some of the videos, so dry it may not always be obvious :-).

while out riding my rear gear changer failed it became unusable in order to get myself home I turned the bike into a single speed I did that by shortening the chain so I could bypass the gear changer and just used a single sprocket on the cassette linked below is a video that I made about how in an emergency you can convert a multipe speed bike into a single speed and how that can be done safely so now I can ride home and replace that gear changer I’ll make a second long form video about that
