Random question....

Don't know whether its been asked or whatever!

 

Wrong thread or something like that, but seeing that SS's is focused a little more on custom built, anyone here don't perhaps, sort-off, accidently, maybe just, have a spare unwanted set of mousthache bars lying around?

 

PLEAAAASSSSEEE!!!!!! :whistling:

Mustache bars as in something like On-One Mary or Ragley Carnegies?

 

If so then contact Grant Usher at Singlespeed.co.za

 

He has stock of the Crarnegies

 

Similar but not quite what I'm looking for...

 

Looks something like this:

 

 

Because of the look & apparent versatility...

My nephews bike is like that drives my sister mad, as he put a hole in his jeans the other day when he sat back too far. Lucky it was just his jeans he got caught.............

I never have a problem with sitting to far back, I just know were to sit so it never catches my pants, and I need it that height as I clamp the seat when i am doing barspins

Hi guys

 

I have a NINER Air 9Carbon, and ABSOLUTELY in love with my bike.

The EBB gave me grey hair, in the sense that it creaked and slipped.

The maintenance on this killed me, as I needed to re tighten after every ride.

 

Now, I got tired of the hassle, and after some hours of research, I made contact with some guys in the US.

 

Received my new Bushnell ebb last week, fitted with a shim (for the niner's shell diameter) and a weeks care free, creak free, adjustment free riding.

 

They have 2 models. I opted for the "retro" older one, as then the expanding force pushes out along the full shell vs the full EBB circumference, vs just the "shoulders" of the skeletonised "featherweight" ebb option.

 

Loving it, and now I have a TRULY "maintenance free" bike in my SS.

 

Happy hooping

PS, I had the Niner EBB, and tried all 9 different methods of fitting, the carbo-grip option, the carbon assembly paste option, the plumbers tape option (this one, I got an even thicker plumbers-tape, and that was the closest I got to a slip and creak free EBB
