Think I might drop a couple teeth on the rear cog if I go for drops. Make it a bit easier to get around on. I have a set of @edscoble favourite bb5 in road flavour to replace the bb7 mtn brakes too.

Did think I might try and fit some 700 wheels in with like 2” tyres but that would mean a new wheel set so I’ll try it with 26s first.

Is that a mini Ohlins, or just the stickers?

Yep, it's an Ohlins modified to fit 26".

The rigid incarnation is 10/10

source? lovely bike.

What's the headangle you reckon?

Those Chumbas are usually 68 degrees with a 120mm suspension fork

Their charts don't state if that's a sagged measurement, which is something I wish more manufacturers would do

Cool thanks.

Looks like the frame I want to make. But with 2.4" tyres instead

He seems to have moved away from his usual bent seat tube with that plus bike

That looks alright doesn't it

I don't think I ever posted mine in here:

I don't really like it, have been posting in the build thread about adding gears but quietly and privately pondering dingle-speed. Having just caught up with the last few pages of this thread, I'm totally sold. Should be good.
Currently have a 32:16 gear, I think I'll try and add a 29:19 or something.

If you want to borrow a 21t cog lemme know. 32:21 is same GI as 29:19 (40") and probably easier than finding a 29t ring in 104bcd...

Edit: oh, unless this is for lower gear dingle purposes...

probably easier than finding a 29t ring in 104bcd...

Hadn't got as far as actually looking for parts yet, but the crankset is threaded for a smaller ring at the back - hopefully I can find something in whatever bcd that is. 21t would be for lower gear, but thanks for the offer
