Probably a bit over proud of this but “designed” and built an oak head board. Basic but I think it came out really well.

Looking good, how’s the fork, is it truly
“The One fork to rule them all”

Very “OTP”

Short stem, wide bar, for shredz

The micro shift ain’t bad, probably sturdier than the shimano ones, nice click. Half the price.

Apologies, have checked and it’s 120.

Think it’s 10, definitely not 17 and I don’t think they do 6. If the price is acceptable I can go and check /get photo.

Personally I find the only hub gear that is truly fit for purpose beyond commuting and leisure use is Rohloff, they’re just another level.

11 are oil bath, 5, 7 and 8 are greased with white grease.

I just saw that on an fb page but looks like a well abused greased model.

Quality content.

From Facebook: what happens when you ride #shitfromabutt on hub gear.

Why not just run a carradice with bagman QR on the back of both? Super C works well as a shoulder bag, bagman QR quick and easy on and off.

@Zed only had a short ride but the tyres were amazing around the woods, felt more confident both on the rough stuff and under braking.

I wanted mezcals but none in stock in 27.5, after looking around these Hutchinsons had what looked a decent tread pattern - read a review which said they there too hard/stiff. I’ve had a lot of issues with tubeless in the past with light weight supple tyres getting cuts that won’t seal, so I actually thought a tougher tyre could work better for me. They’re noticeably stiffer and thicker than peyotes/gravelking/g one all round - I’m taking it as a positive - we’ll see.

I have got a spare set of 700 wheels I was thinking about trying with 700x42, or bigger if they’ll go in. One thing I’m thinking though is 38x11 is going to be a bit spinny for faster mixed surface rides, I’m going to do a few commutes and see how I get on. (Commute is 50/50 woods and tarmac)

Instead of the kona yeah, rode a 29x2.2 drop bar bike a couple of weeks ago and just felt a bit barge like - spotted this frameset and realised I had 80% of the bits so went for it.

Finished the all city, feels like it’s going to be a lot of fun.

That’s my bike buying done for a while.

Nice. Glad to see that you rocking big tyres and enjoying. My hub adapters came today but not had chance to fit, hopefully get a shakedown ride in on Monday.. really not sure what to expect but hopefully good times 😎

so OTP rn

I have a black 44rn 49t that literally did 100 miles , from 2nd batch iirc. Make me an offer.

Ah that’s good to hear. Ye it was funny, people at work were rinsing me for the tacky gold frame then now they’ve seen it built up they’re like wahhhht. It’s really come together well and like I said it’s something different that I would have never thought of.

I had my heart set on something 29x2.1 but rode one recently and it felt a bit barge like. There’s quite a lot of rocky rooty stuff I want to ride and thought it might be a hard to handle with the big wheels and slow handling. I had been in a bit of a dilemma so when I saw this an realised I had everything I needed aside from mech, cassette and chainring I jumped on it.

Really looking forward to the first ride!

Let’s see yours then.

Cheers, same to be honest the root beer kola or whatever it’s called looked loads better but I’m really happy with how it’s turned out, looks much better built up. Something different. I managed to snag the last 58 in the country, would have been happy even if I didn’t end up liking the colour 😂

They need to make a 51-15T cassette or similar.

Length wise it would do but not sure I’ve got masterpiece budget, wanna slide into my DMZ with a price ?

It will even do 11-42 if you avoid running small-small
