Flowta Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 My SS dream: Nice' date=' I like the way they're tensioning the chain. It's given me an idea, "To the drawing board!!!" BTW: Technically that isn't a singlespeed it's a dinglespeed.[indent']It's got 2 sprockets on the back and I assume a smaller chainring on the front too. Enabling 2 different gear ratios with the same chain length.[/indent]
Bos Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Thats darn nice... Thing is.. Having 2 gears in stead of one.. I think If going single, go single, for no other reason than I would hate to be out on the trail wondering If Im In the right gear and If I should stop and swop or just keep going... Well I have that kind of mind..

Only reason I would put another gear on would be so that I don't spin out so quickly on the flat and riding to the trail.

nathrix Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Guess it's time to post mine then hey? Why keep us waiting!! Let's see the beaut!
Hog_ Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Hehe, had to resize the pics first. Not a new bike, but some new bits on it. It's running a Hope Pro II Trials/SS hub, and I bought a Fire eye tensioner and spacer/gear set from CRC. Gearing is 22/18, so it won't go anywhere in a hurry, but that's not the point of the bike. I have noticed that the chain jumps a bit when I'm pedalling for longer stretches, even though the alignment looks spot on. I'll pull a link out of the chain and see if that fixes the problem. I need to remove that Powerlink anyway, since they're known to fail under trials riding pressures.
Dirtbreath Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Dingle speed!? Classic! Checked this pic so many times and never noticed that. Maybe I was distracted by the hip flask water bottle.

Maybe I was distracted by the hip flask water bottle. hehehe I originally thought there were super-long teeth on the sprocket, then I thought, if the teeth are too long they're going to interfere with the chain and stop it turning.
