    Wagon Wheeled ramblings....

    Re: Yup, I guess that's it, much more controllable, probably also because my pedaling is normally rubbish, even after all these years!

    Wagon Wheeled ramblings....

    Had a few threads on here about my wagon wheels so though I would do an update on them all at once! The Genesis Have gone bouncy on the front with a SH recon Gold...kept this at 100mm which seems to suit the bike....and me! During a ride a few weeks back I broke the front chainring...I guess...

    Great big Singlespeed thread!

    I know what you mean, it sort of feels right from a simplicity and lightness point of view. Steel SS with front bouncy was my bike of choice every winter, but those rides were longer, now 10x1 gives me the mud clearance for the winter so the SS is more for shorter thrash's around the local...

    Great big Singlespeed thread!

    Re: Finally got out on the On-One, most riding recently has been in company where a SS would not really have been popular! Probably the most hassle free first ride I have had, wasn't sure on the tensioning but it was fine under power and braking (where i have had problems before) May move...

    Great big Singlespeed thread!

    Re: Very much a work in progress. The Gary Fisher was nice and converted me to 29ers but just felt a little big...I always waver between small and medium frames..generally ending up with small...the Gary Fisher was a medium :-( I also have a small On-One Inbred which is my do anything...

    Great big Singlespeed thread!

    The Rig has Evolved The Gary Fisher has evolved a little for this summer, the commuter needed wheels urgently so swopped them over from the singlespeed, then had yearning to ride it, so quick look in ebay turned up a pair of cheapy wheels, WTB rims on blue anno hubs with Geax tyres (which I...

    Wagon Wheels Genesis More tweaks.

    Re: Many thanks It's a 16" frame, I like plenty of clearance :roll: Since the early 90's I have always ridden 15/16" frames, seems to be regarded as a bit small now, but I'm very happy with it.

    Wagon Wheels Genesis More tweaks.

    Re: Made a few more tweaks. A slightly longer stem with a little more rise with flatter but slightly wider bars, seems to work nicely after the first couple of rides. Also trying some On-One foam grips, years since I used foam grips but they are nice and slim and to take out a little of the...

    Wagon Wheels Genesis More tweaks.

    Re: Hmmmm, definitely not built for style, although I have tried to make everything blend nicely. There is mass's of tyre clearance at the back, the front not so much, and those tyres are smaller than the Specialized's No worry's tho, each to their own :-) But front clearance, the forks were...

    Wagon Wheels Genesis More tweaks.

    Re: Still really enjoying the Genesis but had some tyre problems. Running tubeless...the rear just would not hold but no leak visible. I put it down to running 2.3 tyres on road rims. Taking the tyres off I found that the rear had not sealed the rim or coated the inside of the tyre at...

    Wagon Wheels , Just an Inbred now!

    Re: A little evolution. I started commuting by bike again, using my old Pipedream 26er, but did not feel great, had to use P clips for rack and panniers....it all just felt a bit wobbly and twitchy so after using the Inbred and haversack the decision was made. Strangely this tied in with a...

    Wagon Wheels , Just an Inbred now!

    Re: Yup, recon it would be fine, personally I think the On-One is fairly steep and the longer fork makes it work well for me.

    Wagon Wheels , Just an Inbred now!

    Re: Had to get some camera kit ready for a job on Saturday and the Inbred was just sitting there ready to be a test model. Just had to do commuter duties for a few days due to puncture woes on my road bike. Not messed with the spec at all......surprising for me!!

    Pipedream SS now 1x8 commuter....

    Re: Work is a bit wierd at the mo :-) Have a company car but they won't now pay for parking at the office, since I am not enthused with paying £9 a day it's back to bike commuting! Did it for the first 10 years or so at work....looks like I will now be doing it for the last few years :-(...
