Klein Attitude from 1993,,,Full Rigid...

I race it at Mammoth lakes downhill in 1995 with gears but no forks

this day is one of 3 single speed bikes I have
http://patineto.smugmug.com/photos/2860401-M.jpg

Custum made Xt hub body(much stronger interface plus "grease guard ready"), ussing a 6speedLX cassete(since the heat treatment on the XT is very dificult to machine) and a Bottom bracket treaded locknut to hold the cogs in place(the cheap 6 speed feature a treaded surface on the top that can be use to tread lockrings or originally a 13T sprocket ) CERO dish on the wheel makes it super strong and able to change single cogsets in a Hurry
http://patineto.smugmug.com/photos/2860398-M-1.jpg

Little safety wire work to hold the chain ring bolts from coming losee,,much better than locktyde if you ask me,,,
Oh 180MM cranks RULE!!!!!!!

It's pretty much stock, but switched to single speed when the chain hopped the ring off of a 3' drop and I broke my knee. It was tough with the stupid vertical dropouts, and I didn't want a chain tensioner, so I used all half-links on the chain and it worked out superbly.
28x12.

Thanks. 90 or 130mm. I was riding it rigid but my wrist just cant handle it. The Sherman was the only thing I had lying around to throw on. I'd like to find something lighter with maybe 100 or 115mm of travel.

We got about 6 inches of snow here last night so no ride today.

There is a Surly 1x1 that has been sitting at the LBS for way too long, and since my Blinglespeed is getting a crap load of commuter miles on it for a change, I may pick it up as my beater SS.

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a344/stinkyboy/Garbage%203/1x1_frameMain.jpg

Now I need a new house dress to go with it.

Build up some 650b wheels to go with it. Velocity Blunts laced to some nice SS hubs and some Pacenti NeoMoto tires. Do it! :thumb:

Oh yeah, I am now rocking a single speed too!

She's a circa 2003 Sycip (geared) frame, but setup as a dedicated SS. Unfortunately I don't have any pics handy, but I hope to get my grubby hands on them soon. In the meantime...

Large frame
2000 Xvert Super
Thomson post
SLR saddle
no name stem
Monkeylite XC bars
Hayes on front (purely cosmetic - she hardly works)
Avid on the back
Blue Truvativ cranks
****e wheels that need replacing

Currently setup as a 32x21, but I can go up or down one because I left the full cassette on back (read: me being cheap).

aye, 2.3s. They look bigger due to the black rims and the widde width of the rims that aitificially increases the perceived size. I had the same reaction when I first put it on. Fortunately it still fits on the back of the Chameleon.

I converted my Vagrant to SS a few months ago. This is my first experience with singlespeed. So far, been great. I push uphill instead of climb, but I dont mind. The next big step is cutting 12" off my thomson post for weight savings :huh::twitch:

Original setup: Hone cranks with cromo BB spindle and pedal inserts, salsa 32t ring, blackspire stinger tensioner, 20t ring + spacers + forte tensioner thingy from performance bike SS kit.
http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/7123/ssc0150pe5.jpg

Current setup: Salsa 32t ring, surly 15t cog, forte chain tensioner. I had problems with the chain slipping under load, but removed a link and got better wrap around the cog. Almost made the chain too short (did that yesterday :banghead:). The Blackspire Stinger does not rotate far enough to really put any tension on the chain (32t chainring), plus it was apparently taking some rock hits so I pulled it off.

Here's mine. '07 Jibster Frame with 130mm DJ1. It's an older pic, it's currently running a Spank Bitch Stick bar with ODI lock-ons and a hookworm up front. I also put on a marzocchi fender, since there's a lot of slushy snowy crap on the ground and I got sick of cleaning my glasses.

Zone 3

04-15-2008, 04:27 AM

It's my own design and these are the prototypes.

After a year thrashing them to death we settled on a few modifications and contracted a factory to make it (some of the big names use the same factory: M....., L......... etc

Can be 26" or 29" by sliding the dropouts back and forth.

Almost everything is titanium: frame, fork, cranks, disc rotors, spider, chainring, stem, seatpost, bars etc.

Using hard arsed heavy test riders (90-100kg), we thrashed it until we broke something and then thrashed it some more.
The weak bits were seatpost and stem for heavy riders (75kg and under only for those bits). Broke one crank but haven't managed to break another (yet). Frame, forks, bars, spider, bashguard, chainring, disc rotors etc all proved unbreakable even under the hardest abuse.

The proddy bike doesn't have an eccentric as this was noisy and messy. Instead we use Rolhoff pattern dropouts made from Ti.

Every bike can be a singlespeed, fully geared, track bike or hub geared depending on selection of dropout.

I broke my back a few years back and can't ride without my fabulous Thudbuster. The Ti fork is a 'soft ride': it will flex about 50mm back and forth and gives a much softer ride than most rigids but is strong in corners and off jumps (XC; it aint a jump bike!).

I've sold 4 to customers and will sell on request.
