Krullie Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Brilliant! Where did you get that chain?Glad you like it! Got the chain at Mason bike Inn Stellenbosch, R160
Gandalf Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Ok...so that was the shortest i have ever owned a bike. My business partner saw it and took it. Luckily i had ordered a spare bike for just such an eventuallity. And thanks to a late friday delivery of some american classic race wheels, i had two singlespeend monsters delivered in a day. Not a bad friday.Damn thats pretty. Hows that clearance of those tyres? from the looks of it there is about 10mm between the tyre and arch of the fork. Wayne Potgieter 1

pietas Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 rsz_1img_20150126_171934.jpg This is a project Ive recently completed for a friend...Would be cool to hear what you guys think, Ive replaced the chain,seat, tires , serviced the hub with bearings, polished the heck out of the frame and brought the chrome wheels and handlebar back to life.Cool fiets! Sit reflectors ook op die fiets. Witte voor en rooie agter. Sal netjies lyk

Warthog Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Please help this stupid... I'm re-doing that 1950's Raleigh roadster. I want to keep the front cog- standard with the Raleigh heron and 48 teeth. The back cog is 18, which is a ratio of 1:2.6. Is that more or less standard for SS? Thanks

This is a classic. Keep it as it came from the factory. My 2c SimpleDom 1
Warthog Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 I definitely don't want to change anything more (already had to re-paint due to a proper horrible home paint job on it), but I also want to ride it and not die doing the mountains around here, + it weighs what feels like a half-ton. Just wondered what is a "standard" ratio on SS.

Tau Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Totally SS clueless so excuse. I have a 2009 Cannondale Prophet in Bare alu. Replaced it with a new Anthem SX. So I can sell it for R5000 if I am lucky, however was thinking with the lefty and really good brakes and new rear shock why not make it a SS for some trail riding. The problem with the Prophet has always been the front chainring setup, as it has a wider than standard BB so a single chainring front will relieve many of the problems. Q: Can you make a Dual bike a SS with the rear suspension pivot vs chain tension? What ratios do I use? Or is this a trial and error thing.
silent bob Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 this is something i put together to work out gears etc on an SS with diff wheel size options. makes it a bit easier if you have a more than one SS with diff wheel sizes SimpleDom 1
silent bob Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 so if you have a look the sweet 2:1 ratio of 32/16 on a 26er will be a 32/17 or 34/18 on a 650b and a 32/18 on the 29er for roughly the same distance Fire Engine 1
