TyronLab Posted February 23, 2022 Share I am once again toying with the idea of a SS setup on my current bike, but I ended up with an XD hub to fit the fancy schmancy XX1 cassette that came with the bike. Anybody have any options or alternatives to the expensive import options to get a SS cog onto an XD hub? I've strongly considered just designing an adaptor (splines and a thread, not too hard to machine) and having it machined by a buddy. Would maybe work out cheaper than either getting an HG Freehub to suit my Rapide wheels or importing an expensive kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menno Schagen Posted July 20, 2022 Share Now I know it has street tyres on, but you can easily run a set of knobblies on here too! Really like this setup and had to share SilverRider, TyronLab, Owen_DJ and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick_the_wheelbuilder Posted July 25, 2022 Share Thought I'd share my Cotic Simple SS in current form. What a pleasure to be able to ride it along the beach at low tide. Oval 34t with a 19t at the rear. The Stan's Arch Mk4 rims are super and the Cure hubs have been faultless. I'm running Vittoria Agarro front and Barzo rear and liking them a lot. Just bought a KMC 9-speed e-bike chain to try out and hope it lasts a bit more than 1500km - singlespeeds go through chains at a high rate!

Yes, the frame is definitely long enough to take the holy rail and one on the seat tube. Koos Likkewaan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilipV Posted November 17, 2022 Share I'm pretty sure that I've posted this before, but I love this bike, so here it is again. I haven't ridden my nice bike in many weeks, riding this bike exclusively. And I'm pretty sure that I'll be taking this bike on holiday instead.

MORNE Posted November 17, 2022 Share ive been riding this in SS mode too recently. You just cant beat that smooth and basically silent drivetrain feel of a SS bike. PS..yes it's not a mtb lol, but it's something in between.
