My new project : Single Speed with tubular Spinergy Rev-X

Il veut dire que la chaine n'est pas assez tendu. Tu connait www.pignonfixe.com? Il y a plein des renseignements la-bas.

Ton vélo a de la gueule, c'est clair! S'il y a trés peu des commentaires ici c'est peut-etre parce qu'à la base c'est un forum pour les vélos d'une certaine epoque et le tien est un peu nickel, voir neuf... Par contre il y a déjà une rubrique pour les fixies: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=151190

Tu es ou en France? Moi je suis de Montpellier mais je suis Anglais.

I used to do grasstrack racing and I'm not sure the QR would be able to cope keeping the rear wheel in place LOL .... or have I missed something on the pic

Shaun - he says it's easy to adjust because he has horizontal drop-outs, so it looks as if he just needs to slide the wheel back a bit. Taking a link out might be the next step but I put him onto a French website for fixed-wheel and singlespeed so he can get all the info he needs there.

I didn't even do O level French. I did a year of compulsory French when I was 13, and didn't understand it at all. So I did German instead but have been living in France since I was 20 (I'm now 38...). So I've learnt it as I've gone along. And my wife is French and doesn't speak English so I get plenty of practice...

How did you achieve the Carbon Fibre look..and was it expensive? I assume it's not a CF frame originally?

 

[Mofofo]

The carbon look is made by 3M textured vinyl, it's thermo-adjustable, and for this bike, it costs me around 50€ including the ship from USA.
Thank you for your interest !

 

[moffyr72]

It's not interest, so much as sheer jealousy!!


I shall have to do some 3M research...
