The Nevada State Championships in Boulder City played host to the 2011 Canfield Bros. Single Speed Nevada State Champs. This open event brought racers from six states to battle for bragging rights and a huge cup!
How to turn your bike into a SS DH:You don't need a dedicated single speed set-up to run in the race. Most entries were modified for the day. To convert:
1- pull out your derailleur cable.
2- Cut it about 6" long.
3- Run the cable with the metal stop end-(the ball in the shifter) into your derailleur.
4- Run the cable like normal and lock it on the gear you want.
That's It!Cable method.
Duct tape method.
The "should have, could have" method on my bike. Next time for me boys!

Jeff Frampton keeps the Nevada State Champion in Nevada. Jeff owns All Mountain Cyclery in Boulder City...home turf, home field advantage? Maybe, but make no mistake, Jeff pinned!
