deanbean Posted February 28, 2011 Share Stretch, you need to put a 29" on that front end, will work very well with that fork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stretched@Birth Posted February 28, 2011 Share Stretch, you need to put a 29" on that front end, will work very well with that fork.Hey DB, that is a 29"... Looks like a 26 cause the rest of the bike is so big I suppose. Now it's all in proportion My 6'4" frame has always looked a bit silly on a 26" bike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baroudeur Posted March 1, 2011 Share What gear ratio are you running and do you use it exclusively offroad? Is your chain coincidently perfectly tensioned or did you have to add half-links?   The Singular uses a Phil Wood EBB. It is very simple to adjust the tension using an allen key, takes about a minute or two, so no need for half links. Currently running 34-18, but it's early days, will have to play around with ratios on different trails. I am using it purely offroad.

Flippa Posted May 23, 2011 Share This is my new SS Rigid, freshly washed after Saturday's spin through The Vlei's green route and Sunday's blue route at Teak Place. The rigid fork is presenting some new challenges for me, but its a fantastic ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcmeyerSS Posted June 16, 2011 Share i know I'm not worthy yet as today was my first ride on a SS it was the race at baabas and came 65th/478 so stil a beginner but really really enjoyed. here is my bike. built on the cheap from old parts lying around and a schwinn frame found at salomons. its not very impressive but loving it. martinsnyman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotSoBigBen Posted July 21, 2011 Share 90% there - will start posting pics later. I wonder if Rietvlei is ridable with a 32*18 - up and over Wendells revenge as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ride a 32 x 17 on my twentynaainer, works well for me, though sometimes do find myself pushing (that bit up the nationals course towards the pool...). Think at the moment I'll be doing more pushing as I've been off my bike for some time...  Looking forward to your pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
