Spanks and the white cable work. Really like it Jamie.

How are you finding the 29s? We're about the same size and I always think I'd be too short for them. How is the stepover?

Can i ask Jamie, what gear ratio it is? because you seem to be able to pedal over anything on it

Ratio

Hi Dyna
The ratio for the 26 inch wheels is 32/16
For the 29'ers I used 32/18 but it needs a bit of tweeking for the 29'ers. I used my 32 front and the wheels I bought were unused and came with a 18 freewheel cog in place on the singlespped specific hubs.
Haven't used the 29'ers in action as such, only across the local fields as the new Spanks were done shortly afterwards. Hopefully try them out this weekend and get a better idea.

Looks like 3 Peaks was suitably 'epic' for Kaiser:

' I got blown over once on the climb of Whernside when the wind caught the bike '
' gale force winds and rain '
' I lost my glasses '
' wind and rain was horrendous '
' My hands look like I've been in the bath for a day and a half! '
' The puddle half way along PyG lane went from being 18" deep to being well over 3ft '
