Well Done to all the Quiters keep it up it is worth it. Almost 5 months

I was a smoker for 21 years I quite on the 1st June 2012 at 18:00 its been a rocky month and a bit well almost 2 months but it has been worth it. Will never go back to smoking i still get strong cravings but the thought of having to do this all again keeps me from going back. Overall it is worth quiting my overall health has improved and there has even but a little bit extra spending money that i have used towards upgrades on my bike so to those considering or have just quite just do it and be strong it is worth it.

You will only need a rim strip or tube (basically the same thing) on a double eyelit rim. Just use the yellow tubeless tape and some amonia based sealent (stans, sludge) and pump it up.

Thanks for pointing out that the chain is in wrong I had no idea. The tensioner is my own creation pulley and all. I was told it would be noisy but so far its quite and no drag at all. I could not get a tensioner to work at the back not enough space on the momsen to go up and going down I could not get enough chain wrap on the rear cog with certain ratio's. Loving it

Added the Ragley on Friday

I forgot to mention that I ride a 29er so those ratio's are according to that wheel size

32t 19t = 36t 21t will be to light for the spruit I would prefer 32t 16t = 36t 18t but then there would be some places on Northcliff hill I would have to walk. At the moment I ride everything.

Ollo How many of you ride train on the Braamfontien spruit? I know its not the ideal place for a single speed but its just convient for me. I uselly go there via Northcliff hill then trough all the parks. When and were do you ride? Uselly ride Saturday and Sunday mornings. What ratio's do you or would you run? I use 36t 19t would prefer 36t 18t but northcliff hill would not be possible. Pet hate or or what do you like? Traffic from the oppeside direction is a pain, Passing the geared bikes (Dirt roadies) like they are standing still love it. Were else do you ride? Please the spelling nazi's be kind.

That last picture of a tensioner looks like a dual suspension single speed. Has any body tried this?

4 weeks today sunday will be a month.

like it lots.

Day 20 not smocking doing well hows every one else doing?

Go for it.

Day 15 not smocking and i did the usn mtb cup event 4 in Midrand today. I have never ridden that good in my life did the 50km in 2:19 just had loads of energy and stamina. Only compliant is that i am alot more agressive while ridding than i used to be. But maybe that isnt a bad thing as i felt as if i was on fire today. Quitting is the best thing i could have done. To those poeple who are thinking about it just do it yes it will be tough but it is worth it. To all the quitters keep it up.

I did the 50 k great single track fast and flat only complaint was at +- 33 km the 35km riders join with the 50km riders after that the bottle knecks started. Had a great ride and a nice venue

Well done keep it up. Tomorrow will be two weeks my health in general is improving and I have developed a healthy appetite to all the other quitters keep it up!

Made it to day 9 and still not smoking starting to feel better. Had an awesome week end in the saddle pity the weather was so bad. Almost froze Saturday and got blown away sunday. To all the quiters keep it up!

Thanks for the advice.

Day 5 still strong. Craving is not so physical as mental know.

Day 3 not smoking. I have had better days. Still determined to quit.
