A couple more on the Via Verde recently.

I thought I had the SS bug but ......... :cool:

But where's the cotter pins?

Shame.

^^^^^^ That just looks perfect :) .

A snowy Sunday morning ride ended at the pub (where else), someone thought it a good idea to see who could do the longest front wheel skid in the car park. It's times like these when you know there's a future for Elastoplast. :oops:

Great Plan, looking forward to finished pics.

Rotate out 2 back in one, repeat. If there is debris this is the best way to get it out of the threads without damaging them. +1

Not to muddy the waters but I replaced the 160mm travel 26er fork with a 100mm travel 29er fork which "compensated" for the bigger wheel. I measured the bike at the time and the ground to crown was almost the same. Complicatider and complicatider,:confused:

For fun only. I've recently replaced the front wheel on one of my 26er SS' with a 29er fork and wheel making it in affect a 69er, narf narf. It's well known that 29ers need lower gearing so I was expecting to fit a bigger cog at the rear to accommodate the change, but no, the climbs are no more...

Welcome :)

Great Bike, How do you plan to fit an eccentric BB? Interested as I would like to do the same.

Just to be clear, once fully charged I keep all of my power tool batteries C/W their chargers together in a cardboard box in the garage (which isn't attached to the house). I "stay around" when these batteries are being charged and promptly unplug and seperate them when done. The only...

More teeth equals better chain retention so that would be my recommendation.

^^^^^^^ Keep us all up to date with progress mike. :)

^^^^^^^^ :cool:

I had the original Maverick ML7 which was a great ride here in Spain, it seemed impossible to hang the rear wheel up. Parts were still available from the Flow Zone. Another one I shouldn't have parted with.
