I still cannot get the rear wheel lined up on the Fisher. Just when I think it is good to go, I hop on and pedal to the same effect. Some times it is smoother than the other attempts, but it ends up the same. I have a few choices now. I can give up, I can get a different spacer set, I can take it to a bike shop, or I can give it one more try.
On the surface, I would like to give it up. I don't really need a single speed, I just thought it would be fun experience to build it. I don't think I have this in my heart though. I just hate to quite on anything. Especially something that I think I SHOULD be able to do. If I don't quit, I must then take another action. For now, I won't quit.
I have tried various methods of lining up the cog, but I have failed in each attempt. This is not really a surprising outcome as I am not very talented when it comes to these kind of things. I cannot do a lot by sight. The Surly web page had an article on how to use measurements and math to calculate where the rear cog should go. I think I will calculate this tonight to see if I can line it up with my current spacers. If I cannot, I will call Dirty Harry's to see how much they would charge. I will then evaluate at that point what to do going forward.
