I have a 1978 Schwinn Traveler III.
I am begging my first bike project and I want to convert this to a fixed
gear or a single speed ride.
I have started by disassembling the bike and installing new BB that was very
badly needed. That went well using a Shimano BB-UN53 122 cm.
I am stopped now for the lack of the proper tool to remove the old cassette.
Part of my plan is to begin building my tool box by buying the tools needed
for this project.
Another challenge is the crank does not allow me to remove the larger
sprocket from the crank, it is a one piece unit and has 59 teeth. From what
I have read this is too big for fixed gearing?
1) Would I be able to find a single speed gear to work with the 59 tooth
front Sprocket?
2) If I go fixed gear, any suggestions on the crank and the rear
wheel/sprocket choices.
Thanks,
Anthony White
