provisional dibs on gumwall tyres - cheers

this settled yet?
sry, just being keen on these.

^^^is that front wheel dished?
or is that angle stupid?
…wouldn't make any sense, right?

the tyre is flat and protruding more to the nds, covering part of the wheels bulge and making it seem smaller.
do I make sense?

Fucking bike stands.
How hard is it to just use a stick and chop it out afterwards?
Or don't?
Even a stick would look better / less 'in the way' than those ugly stands.

totally agree
it looks like proves they only dragged the bike out to take photos of it.

orlowski is a good option. steel, yes. have a look at eingang's cp thread.

There are quite a few cheaper ones around. wtb do a really light one. halo do one as well. you've got a pm btw.

^^ dron, changed to 135mm spacing.
Is your build in CP?

also do you mean something like this:

No, I don't have a thread about it.
for the hub something like this

135 spacing if you want to go geared, you will want a mtb hub with disc.If you want to go fixed get a chainset with 52mm chainline to go with velosolo cog on mtb hub.
I'm about to build about the same kind of bike, but on a tighter budget. I'm putting nice parts on a pompetamine so the frame will be the first upgrade option.

Do I have to? Please indulge me!

I'm sorry, but yes.

^^ I did and I got.

that's a pure win then.

yeah. I'll have a front disc brake. I'm in denmark, but that's the same soil really.

can't you ask for a little discount to compensate for the wrong paint. that would seem quite fair, I think.

I was going to buy one of those, but most seem to be only a screw on cog with no reverse lockring thread. other than that. perfect.
I'm close to just getting one and suicide it with locktite and bb lock ring.

and a photo to keep the thread on track

OK, this might be the right thread to ask this:
I need a hubset for a disc ss/fgcx.
I want the rear to work as ss with disc mount and as fix (not at the same time)
The problem is that I have a chainset with a 46mm chainline (velosolo cog gives 52mm)
135 oln spacing.
32h
silver
female axle
light and/or cheap

and colour coded valve caps.
looking forward to better pics.

2nd dibs on the tyres.

just found a photo, but you can't really see it. the adapter sits on the qr axle (theres one for solid axles too) and moves the mudguard mount a few inches rearwards.

it might be a bit of a silly solution if you already have eyelets on the fork and it's a bit irritating if you have to remove the wheel.

sorry, can't do a photo as I've removed them again.
gilles berthoud stainless.

It does appear to combine the shorter toptube & longer headtube that would suit some dirt drops. Singlespeeding it sounds like a good idea, then you can shift that budget gearing.

Frame wise, it's double butted cromoly so it could work out ok. What's the a-c measurement of that fork? I wondered if something lighter/prettier could go on at a later date.

I say singlespeed monstercross it!
the fork looks to me to be just above 400mm maybe 410. a rigid 26er fork would raise the front and slacken the angles a bit, wich would only make it more suitable for off roading.

oh, the front, yeah.
when I fitted mudguards to my 29er without eyelets to the fork I used a pair of velo orange adapters. they took care of the caliper clearing as well.

but the caliper is between the stays. I can't see how it should be in the way for mudguard struts.
