deanbean Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 Stretch, you need to put a 29" on that front end, will work very well with that fork.

Looks like a 26 cause the rest of the bike is so big I suppose. Now it's all in proportion My 6'4" frame has always looked a bit silly on a 26" bike
Baroudeur Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) What gear ratio are you running and do you use it exclusively offroad? Is your chain coincidently perfectly tensioned or did you have to add half-links?   The Singular uses a Phil Wood EBB. It is very simple to adjust the tension using an allen key, takes about a minute or two, so no need for half links. Currently running 34-18, but it's early days, will have to play around with ratios on different trails. I am using it purely offroad.

divernick Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 My bike's first ride in the Western Cape - Touw River Lagoon, Wilderness.
divernick Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 Rode the Harkerville red route yesterday on my SS. Was nice and challenging but super-pretty.
Flippa Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 This is my new SS Rigid, freshly washed after Saturday's spin through The Vlei's green route and Sunday's blue route at Teak Place. The rigid fork is presenting some new challenges for me, but its a fantastic ride.
jcmeyerSS Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 i know I'm not worthy yet as today was my first ride on a SS it was the race at baabas and came 65th/478 so stil a beginner but really really enjoyed. here is my bike. built on the cheap from old parts lying around and a schwinn frame found at salomons. its not very impressive but loving it. martinsnyman 1
NotSoBigBen Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 90% there - will start posting pics later. I wonder if Rietvlei is ridable with a 32*18 - up and over Wendells revenge as well

I ride a 32 x 17 on my twentynaainer, works well for me, though sometimes do find myself pushing (that bit up the nationals course towards the pool...). Think at the moment I'll be doing more pushing as I've been off my bike for some time...  Looking forward to your pics.

divernick Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 Some photographic updates after cleaning - post Teak Place....
