Niner S.I.R. SS belt driven.

[DIPSLICK]

Ok so a quick TEST RIDE FEED BACK

we only done our 45 km commute, most is tar, and pavements.

I am a heavy rider 100kgs, the split did not budge, a couple of pavement jumps, bunny hops, pot holes sand not a single issue, POWER DELIVERY is smoother than Baby Jakes bum. Power delivery very direct. I am not exaggerating but the bike rides smoother than my Bianchi methanol which is strange since that runs with a shock obviously, maybe it's new bike syndrome , but the SMILE WAS WORTH EVERY CENT

So I have been riding a belt drive for a while now.

 

Another hubber, make that great hubber approached me wanting a SS belt rive.

It's a challenge, you need a split rear triangle and then an eccentric BB or sliding dropouts.

Match this with a good geometry, brand reputation and Reynolds 853 tubing and the options are very limited.

 

In steps the S.I.R. 9.

Dips got a good friend of his to engineer the split for us .

The belt rive goodies took a while.

 

No expenses were spared.

Only the best components will do.

 

Chris King headset.

Chris King hubs laced on to Sun Ringle Inferno rims.

Bio eccentric V2.

XT cranks with XTR BB.

Seatpost is the Ritchey Trail WCS carbon post.

Ritchey C 260 stem.

Ritchey trail bar.

Yawyd Cap.

Niner carbon fork.

Specialized BG grips.

Shimano XTR brakes.

Baby Jakes bum.

Why you have to mention my baby?

[Wyatt Earp]

Love your work Dangle

 

Thanks T-Man.

I must give a very big thanks to Dips for allowing me to take on the project.

He trusted me every step of the way, he was immensely patient and it was an honour for me to hand him his bike.

I couldn't be happier for someone else.

 

Dips congrats buddy and may she bring you endless smiles

One guy who needs a big mention here is Fire Engine, he engineered and worked in the split, sublime work to say the least

"Only" 45km...hmmm. Some serious training dips.

 

Fantastic looking & bet it looks even better in the flesh. Top Top work!
