1994 Kona Cindercone SingleSpeed (White *shocker*)

[Surfr]

Well it's been a long time coming. Here's the final build photos of the Cindercone SS.

Yes I know I need to take a few more links out of the chain. And, no I can't remove the inner ring from the front chainset. I'll probably pick up a 110 BCD 4 hole ring somewhere at some point but for now it works.

Not had a chance for a proper ride out yet but hopefully tomorrow (off to pub for Rugby all-dayer in a minute).

Think I've just found the tyres I'll be using on the next build!

Sort that rear cable out though!!

Very nice bike

Ditch the chainstay protector and get yourself some helicopter tape though!

Need to get some nokon for the rear V brake. at the moment, I need this length of cable to keep it running smoothly. It's ok, even if it looks a little odd.

I fancied a blast on the SS today so I decided to take 2 links out of the chain before setting off. It turns out that this made the chain so tight that the tensioner was almost redundant. Took a bit of persuasion to pop the chain onto the sprocket but once it was on it was rock solid! Maybe it'll stretch over time. After a couple miles the little bridge on the on-one style tensioner kept catching on the frame so I removed the whole unit. 10 miles later and it's perfect and quiet
