So you going back to a 26er Inbred slot dropout?

Wanting to try my hand at a long travel HT with std dropouts 26'er ... will use a tensioner on the frame and then also see how she rolls in a 1 x 9 flavour.

That is what have been running for the last year, my 26er inbred slot dropout running 650b's with a fox talas 140 up front....currently 3x9, but may be soon a SS

Almost everything bought off the Hub

Chainring and sprocket are nine speed

I broke up two old clusters, used some of the plastic spacers and ground some of the sprockets down and reconnected them with the threaded pin to spread the load over more of the freewheel.

I cut off the tabs of an old 44 chainring to act as spacers so that I could use normal 3x chainring bolts

My favourite component on the bike is the Juicy 5 caliper that got some houding from brake fluid erosion

Next step is to wait for the right steel frame

Why? I like my Ragley (Marley) because it is much rarer than an On One.

My single speed is my other bike, my Yeti is my play bike, so it needed to be built up as cheaply as possible, but has to have a dropout, because the Yeti is too difficult to ride over very long distances, like for the TransBav. On-One only had single-speed Inbreds in my size, so I had to get the Ragley. Make no mistake I'm pleased that I bought it, but it was my second choice.

Hot damn I like that. How clean is that build.

 

Is it a large? Where do you live :devil:

 

Yes it is a large. I live in a brick house, somewhere.
