Current Projects chat and miscellany

I was thinking along the lines of the Surly Ogre/Troll/Krampus e.g.

Looks a bit busy but it's horizontal ends, hub gear, tuggnut and QR all bundled together.

Surly obviously got these to work then.

You can use a QR for fixed. I wouldn't choose to though.

Don't suppose someone could link me to somewhere with a decent guide on prepping and painting your bike?

What are my options for a sealed bearing ISO bolt on cog hubs?

Have you seen the conversion I did for my tandem? Any 15mm through axle hub, chainline can be tweaked to suit, around £50 for the axle+spacers.

got some definition back around the seat post clamp

so burnt out two mofo's this afternoon


all cunningly achieved with aid of my unpatented, self styled "BB Bung/Plug"

on their way back to the saarfside...

Vague memories, didnt you have something custom made?

Yes.

Was it just a case of getting a new axle and some spacers made up?

Yes, really simple, could just as easily have M10×1 extensions on the ends for track nuts but I think the M10×1.5 female threads in the axle with screws is neater. Spacers are retained by magnets assembly, 10mm each side gives a sprocket mounting face 40mm from centre, mine are 15mm NDS and 5mm DS to give a 46.5mm chainline and dishless wheel.

Next bike done.....650c.... city runaround, commuter, training bike.

spotter, you can order and send to me in Canada and then I'll send them along to you if you need to go that route.

Spottee, ffs, if a traditional Paul/Phil holds up to the abuse I give, what have you got to worry about? Stop being awkward.

Very kind offer, thank you

Didn't a brand new rear Paul hub just sell here for £65?

Probably but
As I just found out a silver 36h is near impossibru to get, even Paul didn't have any so
had to send a blank to anodising, it's ended up costing about £150 after import fees. Good job I payed £30 for the front.

Stokes croft near the blue mountain no?
nice tt protector btw, wheels look purposeful and very elegant. are they open pros?

Just bought NOS time atac mtb pedals like yours. How they feel when mashing?

Very lovely bike!

Got the frameset today.. bought from soserious. This will replace my VISP, cant wait to ride it :)

Cranks are waiting:
