I'd ride that

Yeah that's a vibey thing. Just bought some Hope 29ers with purpy purp hubs.

My Chameleon has been pushed til Jan delivery and I'm impatient; anyone have any boost swappable slidey dropout suggestions?

Are you after a particular material or suspension travel ( fork obvs ) range?

The Pace that @Dammit 's ordered has 6.5mm of adjustment in the dropouts. which could work

Solid question.

Material: not too bothered, though steel is nice and cheap.
Fork travel: 120.

Will check out the Pace, thanks!

I don't know how relevant this list is to where you live. A lot of them are US based

Singlespeed bikes and frames 2019-20

Ooft, that's the stuff. Thanks.

Even with discount Pivot are still spendy bucks.

I really like their dropouts

Sneaky.

This looks fun in this setup too

Though why would you have an adjustable chainstay without any pivot on the seatstay.

I think it's just a splitter for a poss belt drive setup !?

Nah, for tensioning

Though why would you have an adjustable chainstay without any pivot on the seatstay.

Simply because it’s not needed.

There’s a lot of spring in a steel frame. I’m not sure what the long term implications of utilising that spring in order to tension a chain would be (whether you’d be stressing the seat cluster joints or not) but as a serial chopper up of frames, I’ve never chopped a frame that didn’t immediately jump out of alignment by more than enough to tension a chain. I reckon that so long as you weren’t changing the setting every week it’d be fine.

Love this, have had a Whiskey No.9 MTB fork lurking in my shopping basket since I read the article....

Its a good insight into what you can get away with. Its too light for me - but interesting to know how the hitters do it!

I'm going to turn my Longitude into 29+ singlespeed, but can't find 19/20t single speed cog for HG freehub anywhere (preferably with wider base). Do you know where can I find it? Best would be any place in Birmingham.

Use Gusset on several bikes, seem fine

How about a Halo sprocket?
Plenty of dealers near Brum who could order one in for you.

I use these: https://www.velosolo.co.uk/shopsingle.html

Those Andel ones are very good

Plus 2 Andel

I like the velosolo ones as well, but found Surly kits and cogs better.

try and get one with as wide a footprint as possible, it'll save your freehub from being gouged

Aren't the cogs the same, just without the writing on?

Yeah, "As with the Andel track cogs these are identical in manufacture to S*RLY singlespeed cogs but do not have 'S*rly' engraved and you don't get a brown header card."
