Budget 3X8 To 1X8 Conversion

DIY 3x8 to 1x8 Mountain Bike Conversion tutorial. I'll show you how to convert your mountain bike from a 3x8 to 1x8 chain ring on a budget. This chain ring had some damaged teeth, and wasn't the standard 4x104 BCD offset, so I decided to swap it out to make it a more clean and simple MTB riding and shifting experience. All of this I did in under 30 minutes and it cost about $60. So if you want to clean up your MTB bike and simplify the shifting check out this tutorial on how to convert your bike to a single chain ring on the front to a 1x8 drivetrain.
