Post your Single Speed

im liking the tires.. carl recommended them to me and i havent looked back yet

 

Haha, is that a Resolution in the front? I'm running the same set up and liking them. Resi 2.3 Front, Capitan 2.0 rear.

I told my buddy shopping for new tires that I really like the Captain in the rear. Doh! #-o

 

before and after

decided my vulture was getting a bit porky and I always wanted a silver wheelset for it, so a few changes were made:

Wheelset (Hopes, Comps, and Arches) + went tubeless
08 xt brakes
fmf hollowpin bmx chain
ti handlebar swap (took off the jones bars).

Dropped 2.5 lbs. Now just a hair over 23 lbs.

(and Reso front / Captain in the rear, also my fav combo)

Before pic in Sedona


After

 

That new wheelset look great... I run the same tire combo without issue until about 15 minutes before the start of my cross country race this weekend at Fontuckey when while during a little warm up I hear PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT that is all folks... Cut side wall and dead ft tire.... Mechmann helped me out with a tube (Been tubeless for a while and Stan had left the wheel) and a Park patch thingy to cover the rip in the side wall and away I went... Barely made the start of the race:clap::clap: a big thank you to Justin Mann for saving my @$$

Finally got around to posting my SS...

 

really old skool

ok..I finally took the bike down and took photos for the thread. It seems I'm not the only one to convert a Univega, but so far the only one who runs an Amp Research fork up front. Not clean......full of left over parts with a few purchased over the years...laugh...I do

so light it has to be kept on the ceiling?:beer:


the AMP fork...all 2.25 inches of semi travel


32x20 for mtn biking...easily converted to 39x16 for riding the bike path with the wife


unique AMP linkage design and a sticker to further the torture of SS 8-[


there you have it...my SS......not ridden often...but sure is fun at Fully!

 

u needSs to ride that thing more often and ride it hard I tell ya!!!:bang:

 

The Vassago lasted about a month. The guy who bought my Niner about 8 months ago decided to sell and I couldnt pass it up. The Sir9 is the best 29er frame I have ridden and I only sold it to build a 6" bike for Moab. Ive missed it ever since. Now its mine again.

 

Grasshopper Dale....

Nice build - I completely understand; but, your wife said one more bike and she's taking baby Taylor and leaving you! Do you realize that you've lost all credibility?

:lol: :lol: :lol:

 

Here's a couple more up to date pics of my SS. I've found the (lame) ergo grips really helps on the long climbs that force you out of the saddle.
