160mm BikeYoke dropper now sold

I've got a 160mm dropper that can be reduced in travel

https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/398826/

One of these https://bikeyoke.com/en/divine/div-316-160-0-0-0

The only complete singlespeed build I can think of offhand now is the Kona Unit

https://www.biketart.com/collections/bikes/products/kona-unit-2023

What wheel size, as most stuff now will be 29er?

Reductions on remaining pedals and XT hub

Something needs to dampen hippy's fast twitching motions

Derailleurs eh. Can't live with em, can't live without...

I think the key component here is what @returnofthestaff referred to as 'Epping treacle' as that stuff gives you chainsuck for days

2x is still generally good for all but the worst SFAB

I did say 'sane'

I personally don't like 2X off road

You and every other sane person on earth

Thank you to @Jakub96 for their excellent communication and swift delivery

Continental tyres AND bike photos?! Definitely not hippy

Do you ride mostly off-camber terrain?

Run it with 700x33 and get the ultimate Epping winter bike

@platypus

Although I'd consider putting the cranks in line with each other. 😁

I thought the crank offset was to counter the oval chainring...

Damn, those brakes are so nice

I think it depends on the bike, as well as what you're used to. Often the geometry can dictate whether the saddle gets in the way more

At least you'll be able to stop quickly, if it all gets a bit sketchy

Admittedly, it would be better with pedals, but oh well

Have you picked out a suitably bling dropper post for this?

Weirdly fun looking

Intend Samurai XC forks

Those would certainly complement the Trickstuff brakes

Best XC tyres I've ever used

I've got head doctors in two steel steerers, though I don't recall them being a problem to fit. Just had to make sure they were quite snug when installed and then they tightened up fine

Perhaps whoever fitted it overdid it with the grease
