Singlespeed a microspline?

Hi. I have some wheels with nice wide rims I'd like to use singlespeed. Issue is that the freehub is microspline.

Does anyone know of solutions to fit a single cog to microspline?

The hubs are branded ibis bikes so deciphering what HG freehub body would fit, then finding one is equally irritating.

I have seen the 'reverse engineering' one that only has 13 or 14 t options. Also seen the 80 quid problem solvers one!!

Cheers :grin:

Bikepunx were making something along those lines but seem to have shut up shop.

Can you get a different freehub with SS compatible splines?

:roll:

Just kidding Steve 😄 (I mentioned it above)

I probably can, but so far it's a ball ache and the shop I suspect may be best in the know (where I got the bike that came with the wheels on) say they 'think it may be the right one' and want me to buy it for 90 quid....and hope it fits...

Im trying to work out who makes the hubs too, bitex or novatec etc. but have yet to get to the bottom of that.

Bikepunx are still selling on eBay I believe, I was looking for the same thing a while ago, but just ended up swapping my freehub

Maybe this? Description sounds right but the picture shows dingle speed

Edit - just saw your last sentence… :oops:

Second edit - Wolf tooth and hope don’t make them so moon on a stick?

However, these do make them at slightly eye watering prices

Thanks again.

I've found a little more around the hubs, looks like I can get an Ibis freehub direct for £75 (presumably I will get hit for tax in the uk from usa) or from slam 69 for £85

I had kind of hoped for something a little less pricy!

I have a SS microspline cog if you still need one.
I got it as a tester from Kayla on stw forum, not sure if that's the same person as bikepunx.
Ended up not using the hub for SS so the cog is yours for the price of postage if you want.

Thanks for the kind offer, I have ordered a freehub now so will let the cog reside in your spares drawer rather than mine :-)

Thanks tho
