Tumbleweed Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 Can I add my bastardised MTB to the mix?I have something building up in the garage to be very similar to your bike tumblesalice.jpgI look forward to seeing pics of the build! It's an old Sunn Tox. Had to use those rollermajiggie things to get the V-brakes to work. There's a thread here somewhere on the bodged chain tensioner we built. The most special thing on that bike are the gold LX hubs. Bloody bike wrecked me on a Crater Cruise some years back - not to mention a hub ride at Groenies that ended in broken ribs and elbow - but what a fun bike to ride!

Anybody with more info? https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/69479-new-from-spot-bikes-rallye/ if you are looking to use a belt drive its one of the few available frames you can get either locally or online to import. if you aren't looking to use a belt drive, for the price i reckon there are better options out there, especially if you are happy to import... just my 2 cents

Pure Savage Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 Just to let you guys know. My conversion is complete and works.... 1 x 10spd Ultegra STI1 x 10spd SLX 11-36 cassette1 x 9spd SLX RDDoes the 9 spd rd get to all 10 gears on the cassette? Why not go 10spd RD? Just wondering
the nerd Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 Does the 9 spd rd get to all 10 gears on the cassette? Why not go 10spd RD? Just wondering The pull ratios on the road shifters to the mtb der are slightly different... as far as im aware.
Thug Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 Does the 9 spd rd get to all 10 gears on the cassette? Why not go 10spd RD? Just wondering Yes it does. Different pull ratios for Shimano 10spd MTB RD and road STI's The pull ratios on the road shifters to the mtb der are slightly different... as far as im aware. Correct.
Pure Savage Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 Yes it does. Different pull ratios for Shimano 10spd MTB RD and road STI's Correct.That foils my plans, have old 105 9speed. May just run single tiny chain ring at front
V12man Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 A cheap set of 29'er wheels will do the job.How are those going to work with rim brakes? or do you mean road wheels?
