RocknRolla Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Swearing helps for me... also makes me feel better when I have to get off and push. That spesific section has also caught me out a couple of times...my philosophy mostly is ATTACK from the bottom and hopefully have enough momentum to carry to the top... Flippa and NotSoBigBen 2
NotSoBigBen Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Ok so swearing and grunting, no problem! Momentum ...... that little hump makes one back off a bit and then there is not enough of that to get up so it is brute power from the legs, clearly lacking there (plus lugging my fat ass up there of course )

I love that little climb.. Likes to beat me up
Fire Engine Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Hi there all you Single speedsters. So here is the story ,I have been in the process of building a SS for a while and hopefully it's going to turn out as cool as I hope. Firstly I have to say a big big THANK YOU to Mattie ,DIPS and Wyatt for the frame .It started off a bit battered but with a bit of love managed to get it sorted . I'm almost done so this way won't stretch the story out to long I will post some pics as I go. BogusOne 1
Fire Engine Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Once the frame was repaired the first step was to cut a section out to install the joint for the belt drive . BogusOne and V12man 2
V12man Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Wait till you see the rest.... I am saying nothing. .. its his story... and there are some even more trick bits coming. .. love this mans work... Fire Engine 1

Momentum ...... that little hump makes one back off a bit and then there is not enough of that to get up so it is brute power from the legs, clearly lacking there (plus lugging my fat ass up there of course )The tree above the hump is hanging low at the moment, you have to duck, killing all chances of building momentum. I had to walk the last 1/4 of the climb on Wednesday...
Stretched@Birth Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 On a different note, I found a 16 for this SS project, now to make some time to head to the track :-) Hairy, the nerd and NotSoBigBen 3

Trackie Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 You guys just need to be shorter then the tree isn't an issueExactly!!! I did the Fire Station section on a 32x17 last week, almost killed me, the tree was the least of my worries. NotSoBigBen and Bobbo_SA 2
NotSoBigBen Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 I will speak to the proprietor about that And he has been duly informed, not sure what action will be taken .....

Bobbo_SA Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 On a different note, my SS (GT) is primed and ready for its first coat of real paint tomorrow, going to visit Kiwi later for some 650B rims. Painting going to take a while though, got 6 more stages to go through.
Stretched@Birth Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 You guys just need to be shorter then the tree isn't an issueI'll get a dropper post, should solve the issue...
