[Ryanpmb]

Seatstay cut and coupled . Very well done. Edited October 12, 2016 by Ryanpmb

wanted to run roadie wheels in a old steel ht with v-brakes ... wheels can be made to fit, just the brakes don't look to line up with the rim.

You get some V brakes with an elongated guide/ slot where the height of the brake pad can be adjusted. Apparently some of these can work on multiple rim diameters...

I am so over gears. I am selling the Talon and have bought a Scott Scale 720 Plus . I am getting it tomorrow .

I will remove all the BS and make it sexy.

If you out on the trials and you hear someone shouting " Gears are for pussies " , its probably me.

Pictures to follow .

This is the correct thread  to show my new SS build?

Yes . . . 

We're anxiously waiting . . . . 

Let's see it.

You can also make/have made an adapter that will shift the brake mount holes.

 

Something like this

 

I have made something previously before (Not Nearly as nice)

Another alternative is to get a frame builder to braze on a set of v-brake mounts

Nothing worse than a SS rider telling you he's a SS rider. Just ride. People will notice - if that's the aim. Edited October 13, 2016 by Ryanpmb

^{I guess that then makes me a p**sy when I ride my CX bike and MTB and a cyclist when I ride my SS....}

Will be interesting to hear how this "plus" ss performs on the hills compared to the normal ss. Single track should be fun!

Ran my Krampus SS for a while. Had to run one tooth bigger on the rear cog compared to my "normal" SS. Don't underestimate the rolling resistance on those 3.0" tyres!

They say it only 1% more rolling resistance than 27.5". We will see. I will get a set of 29er wheels , for those long flattish rides. Must say , I am liking the boost hubs.

I'm looking forward to nice Saturday ride on a clean bike. I hope the weather stays kind

 

I must admit I don't wash my SS enough. But I suppose that's one of the benefits of a single speed is that you don't have to maintain it as much
