Me rida my bicycle Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 It's the 20" sub3 hope indeed! I'm looking for a 34.9 braze on clamp so I can run my 53/39 rings for Argust...... For now the 42 oval is doing gravel duty It is a rad little bike. I love itI am unfamiliar with that bike but why a braze on clamp? What about rivnuts and a direct mount derailleur instead of brazing on the frame for the compact crank? Or am I just miss understanding...
CAAD4 Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 You mean there are people who don't know what a Hooligan is??Ja
Jewbacca Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 I am unfamiliar with that bike but why a braze on clamp? What about rivnuts and a direct mount derailleur instead of brazing on the frame for the compact crank? Or am I just miss understanding...I can't find a road fd with a 34.9 mm clamp, but you can get clamps that mimic the braze on so I can add the FD and chainrings when I want to and use a braze on FD...... Not sure if that is any clearer https://www.probikekit.co.uk/bicycle-derailleurs/shimano-dura-ace-r9100-front-derailleur-band-on-adaptor/11335812.html?affil=thggpsad&switchcurrency=ZAR&shippingcountry=ZA&variation=11335813&shoppingpid=clear_SS_061017_usau&gclid=CjwKCAjwi_b3BRAGEiwAemPNU3VYrq9sAO1nywlUmQ1S_0ZU9N90w18UT16NYoCEn-mZpYMSrrqGBBoCVXYQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Slowbee Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 You mean there are people who don't know what a Hooligan is??You can point them to the Donald thread.
letsride Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 Let me know when you need one, im 100% sure i have a couple in the garage.

TyronLab Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 lefty1 (2).jpeg I present the rigid lefty! What the **** is that thing?!? It's ******* amazing!
Wayne pudding Mol Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 ps Guy....you now need a matching 'trail' mini velo haha:why is there not a fred for these? so so cool imonow I want this for no good reason
Jewbacca Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 now I want this for no good reasonSince getting and riding the Hooligan, I am all about the mini velo... I'm sure it's a 'phase' but having a different perspective and feel in the saddle has been awesome. I'm in the process of 24" MTB love. That or getting a Lefty Oliver (same length as the rigid) and turning this into a 20" mtb....

In fact on gravel the only thing I would say comes close to a Lauf plus you can lock it out. I sold that bike because it felt slow. Turns out it wasn't because 4 years later I'm still slower on tar and gravel using various bikes. Of course that Slate was carrying less on board than my current fleet

They are rad bikes. I always wanted one but my obsession with steel always stopped me. I'm partially over that now and am eyeing out a few viable donors
hansolo Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 Seeing that Hooligan reminded me of this photo way back in MBA and obviously had me looking for it for the last few hours... Interesting that plus tires (19"x3") and 29'ers both appeared around the same time.
letsride Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 And then if you wanted something with really really fat small diamter wheels there was always this from waaaaayyyyy back in the day.
DieselnDust Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 Seeing that Hooligan reminded me of this photo way back in MBA and obviously had me looking for it for the last few hours... Interesting that plus tires (19"x3") and 29'ers both appeared around the same time. Yebo, 29ers 650b, 19 inch 24inch , 26 inch all kinds lived happily together. DH bikes even used 24" rear wheels and 26er fronts or in France 650B. But in those days the okes used to be engineers who could do 2ndmoment of area calc or moment of inertia calcs and figured mathematically and through experiments that smaller wheels worked very very well.Then along came the marketers....now they selling us the 90's all over again. hang onto those 24" and 26" wheels guys
