nope, jsut get 2 old shimano cassetes (sram works too cuase they're spacer are yellow :lol: )
then take the apart and use the spacers and put them on your hub and put the ring on hte rub inbetween the spacers, then put the lock ring on and tighten er' up

looks nice..my only qualm would be….
go real ss;)
get rid of the ghetto tensioner and you will NEVER drop the chain….the tensioner is pretty much as weak and suceptible to breaking as a derailer is.

it's easy to set up proper ss on a vert dropout bike.
i did it with perfect tension on a few bikes…friends 243 with vert drops,my norco 125 with vert drops,and my kona roast with vert drops…
it just takes a little patience,but damn is it ever worth it.
