I've had this a few years now bought from Madmax of this parish. It's undergone several "rebuilds" and is currently being tried as a 69er, I've measured the swing arm but I have to admit it wont fit a 27.5 at the rear. So far I'm enjoying the current build especially in rock gardens. Here's some...

How did it work out, what make did you use? Wanting to make my SS look leaner / cleaner. Thanks in advance for any replies.

I did a XC race from here about 10 years ago and always promised myself to ride some of it again only slower this time. I found 32 X 18 a bit too spinny today but when are you ever in the right gear? Here's some pics from today.

I've had this for some years now, but always as a geared bike with a long fork. All of my previous Single speeds have been hardtails or solids so this was a bit of a departure for me. Full disclosure, I had to push/walk much of that hill behind. Surprisingly, I learnt that even 32 X 20...

Here's a picture of what I have. I would like to buy direct from Hope but they no longer deal with the E.U. Looking at the pictures of pads from other companies they appear to be different. I've already bought some in error. Any advice would be appreciated.:)

It's no secret that I like On Ones so I jumped at the chance to save this 18" 456 frame from the tip. It looks like the rear mech has been pushed into the spokes at some time resulting in a bent drive side dropout. It has been straightened but the 'jaws' are now too wide to hold the QR tightly...

For fun only. I've recently replaced the front wheel on one of my 26er SS' with a 29er fork and wheel making it in affect a 69er, narf narf. It's well known that 29ers need lower gearing so I was expecting to fit a bigger cog at the rear to accommodate the change, but no, the climbs are no more...

Collected from Reluctant about 4 years ago and left with Wadsey to build up with parts supplied with me. Then came along Covid, Brexit, Spanish bureaucracy and some health issues so I was really looking forward to giving it it's first ride now that I could visit the UK again. Sorry for...

There's no identification numbers under the BB shell and no overspray inside the tubes so I believe it has the original paint.

Can I use a cable operated disk brake (thinking a BB5 or BB7) with a V brake lever as my inner nerd wants matching levers. Thanks in advance for any help.

As in title please.

Hi all, I need to change all of my passwords including here, where do I look? Thanks in advance.

There's lots of "How to info" on line I just need to know what size Riv nuts to order. Any one done it? They will be fitted into a steel frame if that is relevant. Thanks in advance every one.

I've posted this before as a 1 X 10 but since I built the Team Marin it hasn't seen much use so as I thought I needed a singlespeed in my life again and of course it's became my go to bike. The build specs are: 1999 Specialized M2 Stumpjumper. Exotic carbon fork. Headset Race Face Thermo SP...

Posted to mainland Spain, sorry I've just paid 67% tax and import duty on an item from the UK. Back to the bars: No cracks, crimps or bends but small marks or scratches are fine as I will probably strip and polish the bar. Let me know what you have.

Well I liked 'em anyway. I'd love to see what happened to them.

I bought this a couple of years ago from Madmax and promised him some build pictures but my camera lost all of its data. I built the frame up quickly and it has become my favourite ride. It's undergone several changes since the pictures were taken with a few more parts in the post. Here's the...

Could someone please show me how to do these in Big Dummies Guide level? Thanks in advance.

As above, 1&1/8th" ahead steerer minimum 190mm long. Not shure what the the A to C would need to be but currently happy with 435mm but replacement could be less. Scratches and rubs with poor decals are fine as long as the fork is sound. Expecting to pay the postage to mainland Spain. W.H.Y?
