Jewbacca Posted August 2, 2019 Share yeah forgot about EBB's in pf30 frames. Niner also makes one for R1bilion lol https://bikemob.co.za/collections/niner/products/ninerbiocentric30bottombracketCheaper price as your double clutch system! The 'Oner' is about 110 dollar and will love you long time. It also comes in various clours so you can go full chav and match it with all the matchey Hope kit!

MORNE Posted August 2, 2019 Share i see the "oner" is $140 already...so at 140(x14)+15%+10%+shipping i guess id hypothetically take the niner one instead as it will be cheaper locally lol...or even a Wheels MFG one IF they finally manage to stock their stuff locally reliably.

Mattwalt Posted August 3, 2019 Share I still think the cleanest solution on a vertical drop out bike is to run a guide / tensioner at the crank. Nice and clean, easy to get the rear wheel off and amazingly adds very little resistance to the drive train ... that v crank would spin freely like nobody's business. If you do not have ISG tabs on your frame, but use an external BB, you do get adapters that fit between the frame and BB that accept an ISG mounted guide. Surely you would need to adjust for chain stretch etc. which means loosening cranks and hub to adjust? Just seems like it could be a fiddly setup.

Hairy Posted August 3, 2019 Share Surely you would need to adjust for chain stretch etc. which means loosening cranks and hub to adjust? Just seems like it could be a fiddly setup.Chain stretch does not just happen over night and this setup tends to not require a "perfect" setup for it to run well or reliably. I have used both the spring and friction mounted der mounted tensioners before and also horizontal drop out frames to run SS, and the chain ring guide has been the easiest of all to setup and adjust. With a horizontal dropout, if you tension the chain you very often have to also adjust the brakes .. newer SS frames have the brakes afixed to the sliding mounts which has resolved this though. This system is also strangely very silent. Mattwalt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattwalt Posted August 3, 2019 Share Yeah - I was just wondering. Unless its a half-link chain which will literally stretch over night :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warren van Rensburg Posted September 3, 2019 Share Hey guys. I’m still on the look out for a 29 suspension fork with a straight steerer if anyone has one they want to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swany05 Posted September 3, 2019 Share I have a half link on my Cotic, Its seen a good few kms. Commutes, gravel rides, pub rides, slow easy rides around the block with mini-me and it hasnt budged. keeping in mind i dont have a tensioner and have vertical drop outs. i dont follow any particular maintenance and just lube the thing a bit when it gets dry. made the mistake before of buying a blue anodized half link chain .... other than looks that was money well wasted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
