Current Projects chat and miscellany

The mtb should be sold tonight which means I'll have money to get a sscx.

Want a nature boy (non disk) but too hard to find, bombtrack arise is also too hard to get hold of.

So my options are limited. It's either build a pompino or get a charge plug 1. The charge is 350 on wiggle atm which would leave cash for a carbon fork and new tyres. Which is my favourite option atm

is 116mm close enough?
plenty of these have disc mounts and threads for standard freewheel.

What frame do you have?

If anyone has a 56 mash sscx for sale I may be interested.

The SRAM X5 is specced to 36t max cog. If I want to run a 42t would I need a longer b-screw?

Current setup.. Dangerous wheel placement and slack chain. Rides like a dream though

you could lose some links don't you? steel fork looks kinda good. what is it?

Blue bar tape arrived and fitted to the Ron Cooper.

Rear brake cabling!

One-Up reckons it will just work, but the geo of your hanger will be the judge of that.

Picture isn't working (for me), mate.

Should be pretty straight forward I reckon. A MTB from '94.

if i lose a link the wheel hits the brake bridge so a halflink may be the only option. the fork is a steamroller fork

Try searching for Novatec D166SBT

Vintage MTB tuning based on a 1996 GT Tequesta

Super fun pub bike

Avid Arch Rival rear caliper

1 x 8 Deore XT with LX crank drive train

so rad!
p.s. The fork makes it kinda gangster track-esque. Might be nice as a fixed gear, too

Neo-klunker. I love it.

Looking for bars like those, what are they?

more 120mm singlespeed disc hub stuff:
If you can find a old shimano 5 speed freehub body (but they are rare now), you can combine it with a standard/older shimano rearhub with a 10mm axle ala:

I made one 3 years ago still working! -> https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/246792/

nice hack!

They are a bind find. No apparent branding.

Ah no worries

firstly thanks for all the replies everyone! so helpful

and @svendhöek you hero this is the exact kind of thing i was hoping to find - nice one - ordered

@xkittyx yeah i was considering mack but looks like their websites down? and i saw on a thread on another forum that apparently they've been inactive on Facebook and emails recently... sad if permanent, I've got a pair of macks - such beautiful hubs

@andy_k @drøn its for a frame i built, its got sliding dropouts 120mm spaced so that i can run it fixed easily, and i figured a hub like the novatec existed. its got braze ons for front and rear disc and a hub gear as there are a couple of sturmey archers in a 120 with a disc brake which I'm planning on building at some point. i'll post some pics when its back from the painters!

Super rad!

Functional'ed my Steamroller over the weekend. Is less fun, but as it's my only bike that's up and running atm it's good to have something that can handle more than my commute.

Loving the riser/Spinaci combo!
