So I built a new bike. Because I didn't like any of the other bikes I'd built since my last Zaskar at all.

I did well to be fair.. I got a 1x9 built with only the frame set too that build.. I've had it a while and it has the worst most half assed spray job on it..

The specs are... Out there, at best.

It works though and from what I tried it as it isn't a awful ride..

It's strangely alluring.

I am thinking of going 1 x 8 on my singlespeed zaskar. Chaindog doing hte job ok?

I haven't ridden it yet..

I'm not sure if I'm using it right either.

I've got to check if it works right.

I've ridden almost all of my bikes as a 1x7-9 setup.

It's rather easy and very simple.

Setting up a 9 speed shifter too run with a 8 speed road mech and a 7 speed cassette. Not so much..
