  • thank you very much! thats a lovely build, still got it? I have another question regarding the cog, are those stock wheels?

  • No I got rid of it last year.

    That’s not the stock wheel no, it came with a Nexus 8 which, imo, felt a bit sluggish so I built a wheel with a singlespeed trials hub (135mm, freewheel thread one side, disc brake mount on the other) and used an iso cog to go fixed.

    I don’t really think 135mm spacing and fixed make good bed fellows though. Square taper cranks might have made things a little easier but the chainline was problematic. I ended up having to make spacers to fit under the chainring. I couldn’t have used a pucker track hub with a longer axle because the chainstays were too wide to put the chainring in the right place for that.
