The Single Speed Thread

Why worry about ratio when you can have a 10 speed cassette.

Why worry about ratio when you can drink enough beer to forget which direction the track goes and end up passed out under a tree covered in last night's surf'n'turf?

Hi - kind new around here

But was wondering if this is the right place to ask if I'm looking other SS mtb'ers in Canberra?

Yep, we be here

 

[FR Drew]

Yep, we be here

Yep, like he said, it's just that some of us don't get out as much as we'd like to.

 

[n plus one]

Evenin' all

Not sure if this is the correct place to ask this but hey..

Are there any other single speeders in the ACT?

Based on my most recent calculations, there is precisely a metric f#%$load of singlespeeders in the ACT.

Why do you ask?

 

[INRI]

This is not done but im loving how its coming along so far.

Cannot wait.

Awesome crank dude. Any ideas for the rest of the bike?

 

[INRI]

I don't know hey - Hope Pro II ss hubs with I dont know what rim - probably something a little more AM oriented. Otherwise I'll run a Fizik Nisene, whatever post (probably syncros or ritchey), replace the bash with a 35t and try to stack two cogs on the back so I can run 32-17/35-15, ATAC's, and as much as I'd love some skinwall IRC Mythos for aesthetic value probably whatever tyres I have lying around the garage until I can afford some nice new rubber.

I'm putting in my wheel order tomorrow or tuesday, so the big question for me is rim choice (any ideas?) and silver or black spokes.

 

[FR Drew]

INRI, very nice work. Not sure about the rigid fork (or for that matter, turbines in bright yellow, turbines yes, yellow...), will build up feather light, but my aging bones seem to need some squish up the front end.

I'm absolutely loving my Inbred (same model as yours) with the Fox Vanilla 100 on the front.

 

[SSDave]

Only 12 days to the Scott, my first crack at a 24hr and for some reason I thought it would be best to go solo and single speed. I have been playing with the gearing and have settled on 32:19.

Who else is coming along??

 

[QZ13]

Who else is coming along??

*raises hand and nudges ebuk to raise his*

 

[ebuk]

[Onegear]

Yep

Mixed threes again cant wait.

 

[QZ13]

Is The Good Doctor coming for a ride (24) or is still going to be extracting dust from his sphinkta?

 

[Rolla]

INRI I have that exact frame and built up to 10.7kg with vanilla fork TWe wheels tubeless tyres. Its seriouslly quick can't wait to get it on some sparrow/strolmo/awaba.
