Marathon Day and a SS prophet-jerry rig style

With drivetrain issues, I decided to make the Prophet a Single Speed, jerry rig style. My chain is worn out, my cables are stretched and the derailluer needs to be dialed in. Instead of performing a drivetrain overhaul and the repeated chain slip where my knees paying the price, the chain was shortened, derailleur, cable and housings were removed.

Over all, the conversion worked pretty good. Instead of my knees bashing into my headset, now my quads are stiff and sore. It was more fun when I was less worried about chain slip. I was able to do bigger drops off concrete ledge walls.

I was able to make my way to the finish line of the 111th Boston Marathon. I arrived just in time, as the Marathon was officially over and only the last of the runners were crossing the line. The clean up crew had already begun their work and I was able to bike my way through Boylston Street.
