Talbot Fixed Tourer

what hub did you use for this laner?

Phil Woods ( incidentally just reading that on a topic about hubs today).

phil wood kiss off

Hows the chainline?

Chainline had to be spaced out at the BB to work with a road crankset, but my chainlines' particularly weird having to work with two upfront rings.
I assume it's meant to work with mtb cranksets normally, but best to check with Phil.

yep this seems to be the issue with running 135 fixed disc hubs, stuck to and MTB chainline and can't use track cranks :(

What bike are you getting that required a whopping 135mm?

Square taper track cranks and a nice wide BB would be fine...

cotic escapade

You forget the beard.

That's exactly how he look when riding his old Surly LHT.

If q-factor's a concern @roadwarrior should probably sell it and get a pomp + disc fork and either forget the rear brake or rebuild the rear wheel every few years...

Whoo! geometry spot on, if a little high.

Reason im interested in the escapade and not some other more obvious solutions is the ability to run gears on it in the future and use it for touring

but them dropouts with mudguards .. btw Phil has waiting period of 16 weeks and its no diff to Surly Ultra New.

In an ideal world there would be a fixed version of Eric's Eno that White ind make to be used with simple vertical road drops with no chain tension mechanism required.

Just run a pair of sks secu clips on the back and pop them out if you need to change the tyre...

I have a 6800 crankset with 42t narrow wide that I use on my commuter/winter bike atm that I am going to try with/without BB spacers and surly ultra new .. will post results.

650B ALL THE THINGS!

Im considering it!
