so im wanting to make my xc bike a semi not to hardcore dirtjumpin bike. in a nut shell its lookin like i need some solid rims and a single sprocket conversion chainguide bein that i dont use any of the other sprockets. im on a budget so just wonderin.

save up and get a dj bike. it will wind up costing less and riding better in the end.
well, i guess that depends on what your XC bike is.

It kind of depends on which xc bike you're talking about and how it is sized. I have seen a couple of people convert a really small mtb, like 14" frame, and make a decent rigid single speed jumper....

However, the basic answer is it's not worth it. Just get a DJ bike. Not only is the frame geometry different on a DJ bike, but almost everything else as well, fork, wheels, pedals, cranks, stem, bars...

So just check craigslist for a used Giant STP, Specialized P.1/P.2, DK Xenia, etc.
