So 3" tire in the front and normal at rear? 

I also like that idea. 

 

But Came across this in my  "krampus research." 

They did basically that in pic #4  with the BERGAMONT Revox

They did not like it to much . . . but that is just them and it was a light carbon hardtail.

 

You might have a totally different setup. 

 

Just thought I'll share the info. I hope it helps. 

 

That oke is an embarrassment in his hipster wannabe clown outfit. FML. Fail.

 

As an aside a Fox fork fits the Knard. Just. But it does.

Thanks.

I looked at the Gates Carbon belt . :thumbup: . .

but man . .  I'll be damned it I  cut a joint in the rear triangle, or let anybody do it . ..  :blush:

I am just not liberal (aka "skytbang" ) enough to do that.

Yeah better not. it would be better to just use a dedicated frame intended for belt drive.

Has always surprised me that even with removable drop outs they never left a little gap between the seat and chain stay...

My XL single speed comes in at 12.5kg. That's with a dropper, suspension fork, and maxxis ardents front and back. Sure I could shave some weight, but I love riding it just so....

Awesome. I saw a p29'er at modders on Saturday such a sick thing.

 

And with that said, young small fry retrieved the n+1 dream list and began to weep as he added yet another line.

Does anyone here know where I can get a good single speed coaster hub here in S.A? You know - the old back pedal brake type. Want to build up a a single speed bike but this will be shopping item no.1. If I cannot find a descent one, I won't carry on.
