Found an almost new 17t cog in the box o bits. PM me your address Gaz and I'll post it out in the morrow.

 

[clockworkgazz]

pm on its way.

Bah, apparently CRC don't have a 20T cog in stock for me after all - took them 3 days to figure it out too - can't source anything bigger than 18t locally either :evil:

So the Stumpy is stuck with the jumpy 21t cog off an old cassette for Thrunton - so I've stuck my Singleator on to add as much tension as possible. Ugly but hopefully functional and it should help a bit.

Could you not run with 18? I ran 36:18 at thrumpton and it was no prob.

Pretty much got the yo finished tonight, just a couple of wee technical issues but it felt tight as a drum up and down the street, can really get why it has a rep as a singletrack demon, it sort of swishes under you! just the vega to do and all bikes will be up and running.

Thinking of going to drum next weekend if anyone fancies?

Btw kaiser the cranks are so shiny, nice one thanks

C'mon then, let's see some pics! Si recommended 32:18 for Thrunton, so I reckon 36:18 might be pushing it a bit. Ach, it should be fine (famous last words).

Hmmm, Drum might be a possiblity.

I think I was on 36/18 at Trumpton. Last climb was a bind but you'll power it no probs

Gazz/ZZ any of you two watching the Stumpy on the bay? Just a tad too big for me but real retro cool

 

[clockworkgazz]

here are a few teaser pics

MOAR you tease! Are those the Kaiser polished cranks? Single-speeding it?

Kaiser, is that the M2? http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewto ... tumpjumper and http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Specialized-Stump ... 3a53f451cd

Trying not to keep looking at it. Don't need another bike. I don't. Honest.
