Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

I think Sun Ringle still makes the Rhynolite in a welded version.

struggling to see how you'd make the most of a 55mm tyre on a 21mm internal rim.

Why? it work fine on that rims width.

Good one, these look pretty great for the money.

Won't it want too squirm out at low pressures? It's well out of the range advised on Sheldon's tyre size chart.

Just saw his chart, I'd take it with a pinch of salt TBH.

Old MTB rims are usually 17-18mm internal, it's only recently that MTB have 21-23mm internal width as normal.

I'd says this is much more accurate (althought you can go one smaller like 23mm on 17mm internal);

Bear in mind that a lots of tyres, especially MTB work best when shaped like a light bulbs, otherwise you risk the sidewall being exposed.

^ This, lots.

Conti RaceKing are really nice on wife rim as they've a very rounded profile anyway, TrailKing great on wide runs too, nice and squishy. Conti Veryical though not so much. Sidewall too thin so they puncture easily once you put on a wide rim.

Conti RaceKing are really nice on wife rim.

Fnar.

The 130mm oln (?) rear wheel is confusing me.

It's not, standard 120mm Novatec

I didn't know px sold those rims unbuild/trackbuilt.

They don't sell them at all any more, cleared them out at £80 a rim a few years back and they got hoovered up by hillclimbers. I'd love a pair, 250g!

Haha, woops!

By Old I would guess you'd mean 90s; in the 80s they were still pretty wide.

Readers wife functional ride

Headlight envy. Looks great, fun.

Ignore this post.

It's great apart from lack of stand light as it's the oem one.

Now just need to get sinewave usb charger - if anyone has one for sellz?

otcc

That's lovely. Do you have more pictures of it? What chainrings are you using? 34 and 52 or so?

Thanks :)

They're Middleburn ones, very lovely. 34/50 - not sure the 50 is really necessary on a bike like this though- would prefer a cx double like 34/46.

On that note, does anyone want to swap a middleburn 46 for a 50..?

Nice work from On-One/Planet X

Reader's wives as well:

Just came here to post that.

Looks an awful, awful lot like the Santa cruz stigmata... just half the price..
