Hairy Posted October 7, 2016 Share Just need to add, that removing the rear wheel is a breeze with this .... not so much when using a tentioner or a bike with horizontal / track drop outs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I FLY Posted October 7, 2016 Share Items already loaded in Rapide basket... Only need one thing.... Convince myself I will ride the SS after the new is gone / convince myself I will have time to ride it between my other 3 geared bikes... Lol My SS is my go to bike for all my training rides up 70kms. Beyond that I get frustrated with the top speed of 25km/h on the flats. My geared bike waits in the garage for races to happen.

It is the most fun that you can have on a bicycle. Especially if you keep it real and ride steel.

henningvr Posted October 7, 2016 Share Just need to add, that removing the rear wheel is a breeze with this .... not so much when using a tentioner or a bike with horizontal / track drop outs.I find removing the rear wheel on my STR (horizontal drop-outs) a breeze.

Flippa Posted October 7, 2016 Share I find removing the rear wheel on my STR (horizontal drop-outs) a breeze. Nothing to it, honestly. STR doesn't have horizontal dropouts, they're sliding dropouts, beeg difference. henningvr and Hairy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speeltyd Posted February 19, 2017 Share It took some time - but here it is. Took it for a spin around Red Barn yesterday, and I could just manage - wrists took a beating. Something to get used to. popcorn_skollie, BenReaper, Kalahari Vegmot and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenReaper Posted February 19, 2017 Share The bike looks good. Just one suggestion though, shorten your chain a little bit, it will make your setup look sleeker. Something like this. Hairy, henningvr and Speeltyd 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monark Posted February 19, 2017 Share Speeltyd, instead of running the tensioner like that, invert it and cause it to push the chain up. This will cause the chain to wrap around the rear cog more and prevent the chain slipping or jumping off.
