Post your mtb SS

[Hairy]

Last setup was a 32x17t on a 26'er .... gets a little tough up the really steep stuff on Table Mountain, so might go 32x18t next time round.

[shaper]

Yeah 26er...

 

Ok cool, will get a 32t... thanx

Your starting point is 32 x 16 and then play from there to see what ratios work for you on the hills

 

Before you start spending on different specific SS cogs, you can break and old cassette and experiment with 16t, 18t, 20t etc to find what ratio works best for you.

Gents I am on the look out for a SS specific frame. Let me know if one is up for sale. I need a medium (18 inch)

Not the best picture, but have a look anyway.  I've got a way to go to get used to the single speed, but so far have enjoyed the ride.

Just learned that SS is not easy (so used to change to an easy gear going up hills). And the chain needs to be tentioned properly, especially on MTB (stuffed up my home made tentioner big time this afternoon).

Received the last piece of the puzzle today, onone doofer - really enjoying the bike! Frame was a hand me down from my cousin, the 720mm rapide handle bar is an absolute jol !! Now just to decide if I am going to polish the frame, respray it - or leave as is. First upgrade will be disck brakes.
