Great big Singlespeed thread!

I poked around in the workshop and look what I found…..next project. True COTIC SS with set of guides for … rear brake. That‘s it.



Ant (TrueWheels) has just made me some 23internal hoops on BLUE Hope hubs. Which will look good with the grey colourway I think. And no … the forks are not the wrong way around; this was the batch with the front caliper mounted facing forwards.

Whoops, maybe not the ideal location for singlespeed?

Love a singlespeed... infact I only own singlespeeds because I can't work derailleurs. Until recently I had been riding a Charge Plug 5 with a exzentriker BB on it so I didn't need a tensioner.

Sadly, the salty sea air had its way with the BB and then the crank.

Just love the simplicity of single speed, I'm now on my 3rd!

Almost every bike I've owned has been single speeded at some point, these are my current and most recent ones...
