SSCX Only!

I used to run my singlespeeds with a butchered Tourney. Much better than the sprung tensioner it replaced.

This looks fun

26" tyres? The wheelbase seems kind of long

650b mtb with drop bars.

now thats its been raining for a month...better get the pomp out in the mud

Looks like it'll have to be that way for me with the TCX, too! The engineering shop don't want to weld the frame and I can understand why, especially considering the abuse the bike will be taking, can't risk a breakage!... Back to the drawing board!

Wouldn't it work better (and be an easier conversion) as a push-up tensioner?

I would prefer the push-up method and will look into how to achieve that with the derailleur, it wasn't obvious to me at the time lol

I think that was taken last year in the state where the owner put a bigger gears on because of the longer flat stages.

Hylex are awesome without a doubt.

Can you not lose a couple of links from the chain? Not much engagement on that sprocket.

Doesn't look possible, otherwise the pulley will interfer with the sprocket due to the short body.

Zdrenka is picking flowers on happy mountain... lol

4/10 shitty filming, much shake etc

Steady cam was swallowed by the ocean.

That's the shortest I can get it, otherwise, like said, the jockey interferes with the sprocket. When I had the 36/17 combo on there was about 2mm clearance! I'm going to revisit the whole tensioner method asap - want did of the butchered mech though it does do its job!

Was out testing my new ride today. Doing cable guides soon and then paint... Better photos here http://hulsroygundersen.com/post/102370581384/topcross-test-ride

Fuck me. You might want to edit that badly timed comment @Hulsroy

oof!

Be careful of mentioning potatoes to the Irish while you're at it.

That's pretty awesome dude, was that the one with the 74 degrees headtube?

Pls explain?

Yes Ed. I will share the drawings soon. I ended up with 70mm bb drop, 73.5 head tube, 1010mm axel to axel slammed 40/21T. 1030mm 40/19T in the photos. Quite pleased with the handling. Even with the slight toe overlap

The d day comment.
