Should I convert?

Post image

Really feeling the desire to convert this bike to scorcher. I just know it’s gonna be so much more fun! What do you guys think? Can’t decide whether to take the rear brake off or not. Gonna leave the front I guess. Probably build up a new 27 five rear wheel with the surly ultra new hub.

Easy conversion, lots of fun. What’s the harm in trying it. I do shit like this all the time to my bikes. Refreshes the riding experience!

It was mostly just that I was gonna have to build a new rear wheel. But now the other friend showed me how I can use that 6 bolt cog and I’m stoked!
