MORE PICTAS! Please.

Are we allowed to do "old posts"?

 

EDIT: I am no longer the owner of this fine steed!

Can’t wait to get my On-One ‘Bred 29er back...

 

Here is the next project bike till then.

 

[Gandalf]

New tekkies.

Schwalbe Moto-X 27.5x2.4 (measures 58mm wide on these rims).

Just clears the frame - which I think was actually built for 26" wheels.

Is this allowed on here? They sort of have knoblies, just flat ones

Basically I'm only on bike paths on my short commute of which only about 500m on a gravel bike path through the park.

Nice build.

 

Try get your chain pushed up rather than down to get a better chain wrap.

Thanks.

 

Actually makes a lot of sense.

[Mattwalt]

:-) Left enough chunks of my knees on my stem bolts (let alone bruises tenders)

Just finished building. Testride on Saturday.

slightly OT (and probably OTT too lol) sorry if this has been posted in this thread before.

 

but have you guys seen these? They seem VERY popular amongst DH and FR riders who prefer SS on their big bikes.  Super nice piece of kit imo...the g3 clutch version is around 200EUR though, the non clutch version is about 75. The ultimate chain tensioner? The way that it works and adjust for chainline seems like the best possible way too. (The whole cylinder body slides inside a clamp)

also available bit cheaper a bike-components. de I see.

That is a seriously nice piece of kit, but that price!!!! 

I know some SS builds that are eye-wateringly expensive, and this will be perfect for one of those.

 

Ultimate simplicity still wins for me, sliding dropouts with tugs. Clean and simple 

[Mattwalt]

Thats kinda sexy - but its expensive and not exactly light. 

[MORNE]

^ 160g is not exactly heavy though lol.(EDIT: thats lighter than a XTR level derailleur by almost100g) the rapide type ones are all100-120g and they are clutchless. imo this opens up a whole lot more frame choices (vertical dropouts) and considering the amount of cheap and nasty tensioners alot of people use on ss builds....this one would be a no brainer if i built aSS on a vertical frame again. Apparently they also don't have that horrid skip that the el'cheapos give you under load...and works flawlessly with oval chainrings obviously
