deanbean Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 If you don't come right with the adapter left me know. Olympic had a few last time I was thereThanks for letting me know Flowta, my sis picked it up for me. I'll get it the end of next week.Now to take some pics of the bike as built up.
JPBosman Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) My single speed creation. Still working on a proper chain tensioner but for now a derailleur works just as well. Edited December 5, 2013 by erreiP-nauJ
Clinton - theCOW Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 Being a roadie where carbon rules, i've taken a bit to riding in the dirt (seems quite a lot these days). After pimping my lil ladies Dual, i was stuck with a whole lot of parts. I decided to build a spare bike for anybody to use, you know the mate that wants to try MTBing and doesn't have a bike scenario. So i eventually found a light carbon frame (cos i'm a weight weenie), then went riding with some crazy SS people. So the seed was planted, i hooked up a rigid fork from a hubber, popped all the parts together and KungFu Master was born dirtrider, shaper, SamL1220 and 5 others 8
Craig8252 Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 The Incredible Sulk...   Awesome build! I am building something similar. What crank is on your bike?
shaper Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 So recently I bought a 29er and started shuffling components across my bikes... the result being the 26er SS got retired (dismantled). My On One Inbred AM got stripped, the talas fork swopped for a rigid (off the 26er SS) and this has now become my new SS... although is a 650B SS
theRussian Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 I managed to finish my first SS build. Most of it were sourced from fellow hubbers. I got the frame, seatpost and seat from Muviman. The brakes are from kvdp. The leather grips are from BBN. Half link chain, chain tensioner, fork, cogs and spacers from Kiwi's shop, Rapide. Handelbar, stem and pedals from Bicicletta. Wheels from Family cycles in Centurion. Crankset from Torx in Centurion. LOTS of help received from rouxie and jcmeyerSS. I already did about 150 km of nice dirt with it. Had some chain slip for the first 50km, but it settled after that and from there it was just one huge pleasure. We did lots of mud and it was a liberation not to worry about gearshifts and huge maintenance afterwards.  Percyzn, Hairy, rouxtjie and 1 other 4
Thug Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Just replaced the Middleburn crank on my SS with a Shimano SLX.
Beesrib Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 Just replaced the Middleburn crank on my SS with a Shimano SLX. I am currently looking for a crankset for my build!
Flowta Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 Just replaced the Middleburn crank on my SS with a Shimano SLX. Did you not like the Middleburn?
Thug Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013  Did you not like the Middleburn? Unfortunately the one arm of the crank started ovalizing which caused the crank arm to start loosening whilst riding. Even using loctite didn't help.
Flowta Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013   Unfortunately the one arm of the crank started ovalizing which caused the crank arm to start loosening whilst riding. Even using loctite didn't help. Which one? drive side or other?
