What’s more practical than your only 2 bikes both being SSMTBs?!

Stop it, you make the rest of us look uncool

I love that stooge so much.

This counts, right?
Thought about selling it but couldn’t bring my self to do it. Repurposed as a jump bike instead.

What chain tensioner do you have on there?

Also, this clearly demonstrates that you need a slopestyle bike

SBONE Boner with this single speed kit for XD drivers. It’s left over from running my dh bike single speed.
The down side is that the xd single speed kit is only available in 13t or 14t, which makes it useless for anything other than gravity assisted riding.

I’ll eventually get a Shimano freehub to run a 18/20t cog and try actual single speed trail riding again, maybe.

There you go @TotalShanner

Far more suitable

You’re not wrong.
I’ve been waiting for 7 speed axs since I seen this article

I tried to recreate the linked derailleur using a short cage from a 7 speed gx derailleur but they wouldn’t mesh. Turns out it’s a force 1 cage bolted on.

So…..I just so happen to have a spare rival axs mech and a 7 speed cassette and I don’t really have a whole lot to do tonight 👀

Anyway, this is all getting decidedly off topic.

AXS 1 speed only here please

Really like that

Readers.

Cute

really enjoying riding this right now. Gearing needs dropping thouh, 40/18 offroad is a bit tough.

whats the go to, 34/18? 36/18?

52" is the classic SS gearing, though anywhere between 50-55" is a good place to start

Seeing as you have 26" wheels, you could try a 2:1 ratio, so 36/18, unless you're somewhere particularly hilly

Thank you wise one.

I used to rock 2:1 but I am finding it more difficult these days when it's steep climbs. Anything Epping you'd be fine tho
