First ss build, all parts sourced from the hub/rapide. Running 36/18.

 

Need to find a brake bleed kit as the fluid needs a flush. Will also like to swop the xtr crank for some equivalent slx

 

Will be using this for a commute between Rosebank and Melrose arch 3c26b6fe823de12ab22dea0ba9eee864.jpg29750dc9b858e713c23385f8ea9bc6dc.jpg310901d1783b1b56b665fc1596dbb8fb.jpg67ed2a4bf60f00ce284fdc9c4226588a.jpga40bfad00e1de78c341d39cbcad3084b.jpg

TBV on a SS... Respect!   What gear ratio did you use? And the BIG question... Did you ride up MAC?

Nice RnR... always loved that bike of yours. I ride my Singular every Friday for coffee. So special.

 

Thanks Monark, that's a real compliment. This bike is just about perfect for me at the moment. The only nag I have is my seatpost is stuck (solid!!) and it creaks like a metal bunkbed with those chains stretched under the matress) It's starting to drive me insane.

 

I think i'm going to have to do the coke-in-the-frame-upside-down method, as this is the only thing I have not tried.

 

Those singular frames are some of my favorite steel frames.

Take it to Sprocket and Jack, Grant's dad made a tool to remove stuck seatposts... may be worth a shot!

Have you tried Q20? For me Q20 works.

 

I loved my On One! I only sold it because the Singular came along. Sprocket & Jack is good call.

Used Q20 from the top, need to take the crank out, spray generous amounts of q20 in and try and get it out that way. Failing that, S&J it will be.
