So....this is my thought around making it a single speed. the rear cassette was not coming off in the usual way. the lock ring tools i had would not fit in this cassette as it did not even have any splines. so, what i ended up doing, and what appeared to work really well was using a monkey wrench to hold the larger cog steady while i used a chain whip to get that first cog off. then, the next two just pulled off, and then i had to use my monkey wrench system to remove the cog you see in this picture, and then the last two cogs slid off. instead of going out and buying a new single speed cassette, i just took the larger, threaded cog and put it back on the hub, which i am hoping will work out fine. it will give me a ration of 52/21.
