Ryanpmb Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 What do you do if that hanger snaps off the On One? Steel frames - will take a lot to snap off. If it bends just bend it back. At the price - you can just get another frame . Seriously though - The alu bolt on ones are designed to snap to preserve the RD (thats the idea any way). Most of the time in a bang that big the RD is a little buggered anyway. On the steel On-One's the RD will take more of the brunt. If the hanger does bend, you can just bend it back (unless it's really bad).
G00SE Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 What do you do if that hanger snaps off the On One? You single speed it!
Ryanpmb Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 You single speed it! The 456 EVO Carbon has the ability to swop out dropouts - geared or SS... options.
Hairy Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 All I want to say is that you are in for some fun with a Longer Travel HT
DR ◣◢ Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Cotic BFe is another great option to look at. Already relatively cheap and completely bombproof.
popcorn_skollie Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 BTW - I slapped a bigger fork on my old hardtail. It did all those things I listed as reasons for not doing it in the first place. But dammit, it was FUN!Haha, I did the same. The otb's were worth the madness in the end. Great fun...for a short while
the nerd Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Cotic BFe is another great option to look at. Already relatively cheap and completely bombproof. Find the cotics a little expensive in comparison to other brands.. If you can get a nice 2nd hand frame at a deal then yes.
popcorn_skollie Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 I've always wanted a slopestyle frame with an adjustable travel fork on it. Maybe 100-140Finding the right frame that could work as both a jumper and has a longish travel am hardtail isn't easy.
DR ◣◢ Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 This is my little player. Jamis Komodo. Long, low and capable of running a 150mm fork. Upgraded to full Saint drivetrain and Hope brakes. KS Lev dropper. Perfect toy.
Hairy Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 What do you do if that hanger snaps off the On One?It will first bend, being steel and all ... if it does snap off you ask a metal working shop to cut you a new der out of steel plate and weld it back onto the frame.
Hairy Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 My first "long travel HT" and SS build ... a steel Giant frame designed around a rigid fork, but running a 140mm Fox Float, was flipping fun
