DIPSLICK Posted August 7, 2013 Share Ok so a quick TEST RIDE FEED BACKwe 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 Wayne Potgieter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vetseun Posted August 7, 2013 Share 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.    http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3729/9455131263_7cb1a529e1_b.jpgIMG_3443 by OddPix1, on FlickrLove your work Dangle Wyatt Earp and DIPSLICK 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
