• more info/ pics? that stem has caught my attention

  • great monster!

  • The scandis absolutely slay this forum for good builds. We brits should be ashamed.

  • Actually with that Surly 1x10, I notice the frame is for 26" but he's used it as a 29er in the past, and now 650b. Does anyone know how? Does the frame just allow it?

  • Does my 1x1 look anything like that? I fucking hope it does.

  • Yeah, this 1x1 is something I threw together. Had some specific boxes I wanted ticked and actually never even gave Surlys a thought. When I got wind that the frame could easily handle 650b I started looking for one.
    It's currently rolling on WTB i29 rims and 2.8" Nobby Nics that measure 69/68mm knob-knob/casing-casing. Axle is dead center in the dropouts and there just enough wiggle room to keep my mind off it. Slammed in the rear I bet a full 3.0" would work. Bb height was a concern but as soon as I got out riding I forgot about that. Feels planted, fast and sure. A real shredder.
    An Inbred would also be cool but I already did that thing with the segmented front&rear forks on my Pompetamine.
    Stem is a GT stem, 90's era. I got a few. Can't have too many stems.
    Other bits I like are the great XT clutch rear der and MT62 cranks filed down for low q-factor so it doesn't feel like treading a plowed field.
    Glad you liked it!
