Grease_Monkey Posted December 7, 2017 Share At what H/A does a bike become useful for only going downhill and does it lose it's ability as a decent all round bike? Specifically if you consider Gauteng as the main place it will be used.All about the seat tube angle, not HT angle... Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headshot Posted December 8, 2017 Share All about the seat tube angle, not HT angle...On a HT the set tube angle is less of an issue. A slack HTA does make the bike wander a bit more on climbs but its easily overcome. The positive trade off on the downs makes it all seem like a non-issue. Grease_Monkey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcBurger Posted December 31, 2017 Share Also Voted the PVD. Their website is sweet. More like a forum by people that happen to design bikes too. Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headshot Posted January 8, 2018 Share The On One frame arrived with a relative at the end of December. Stupidly I had thought the external headset for a tapered fork would be easy to source here. it wasn't so CRC assisted with a Nukeproof at a brilliant price. Another UK family visitor brought it in a few days later. The build is straight off my old enduro and seems to work a treat. Since the pic I have added chainstay protection and the dropper post cable. Only gripe is the stupid left hand side semi internal cable routing. Why would you make the ports on the left when the cable should come out on the right and run to the left hand side of the bar. Must be a throwback to left hand shifters and dropper levers on the right.
