RossW Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 go 10 spd compatible, eliminate the doubt Thanks Uncle.
4barlinkage Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 If I wanted to go to 1x10, would any chain ring work up front or does it need to be 10sp chain compatible? Any 8,9 or 10 speed chainring should work fine. A dedicated 1X8/9/10 chainring will give better wear and last longer though...http://www.hopetech.com/webtop/modules/_repository/images/HOPEChainRing.jpg DR ◣◢ 1

HaydenWilson Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 were you having a beer at the jolly roger on sunday? I am sure i saw that bike on a bikerack outside.
4barlinkage Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 Not too many of those around.Awesome sled dude !What size frame is that ? It's a large. Whyte only make them in 3 sizes. So there is a bit of overlap in the size curve. A bit more of a compact frame. I am 184cm tall to give you an idea of size.
4barlinkage Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 were you having a beer at the jolly roger on sunday? I am sure i saw that bike on a bikerack outside. Was there on Sunday afternoon. That was a Whyte E-120 XT that belongs to Eric from Van Gaalens. Third bike from left. 120mm trail bike. http://sphotos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/389861_10151065680008583_1475509370_n.jpg

DR ◣◢ Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 Mr 4barlinkage, I just had an accident... ...in my pants. That bike is something special. Would large be suited to somebody 1.8m tall?
