Hairy Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 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.
Formallyknownas Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 Picture please?That's tight. Hate the look of rear der looking magafters. Hairy 1

I FLY Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 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. IH8MUD 1

It is the most fun that you can have on a bicycle. Especially if you keep it real and ride steel. And rgid, always rigid Edited October 7, 2016 by Vetseun henningvr 1
henningvr Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 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. Nothing to it, honestly.
Flippa Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 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. Hairy and henningvr 2
henningvr Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 Oops, I stand corrected. Just read that. Sorry okes. Hairy 1
Speeltyd Posted February 19, 2017 Author Posted February 19, 2017 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. Kalahari Vegmot, popcorn_skollie, henningvr and 1 other 4
BenReaper Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 The bike looks good. Just one suggestion though, shorten your chain a little bit, it will make your setup look sleeker. Something like this. Speeltyd, Hairy and henningvr 3
Monark Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 (edited) 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. Edited February 19, 2017 by Monark Speeltyd 1
