if yours is SS, what ratio are you running? 😀

Not actually a cross bike – an old road bike. First converted to fixed, then to SS as a CX bike. Ratio was 40×18 then 39×20 for the last HTN.

And in action at said HTN (photo courtesy of JohnClimber of this parish). Scuse the fat arse.

Like the idea of a Traitor, but not sure I’ve the balls to race CX singlespeed it’s tough enough with twenty.

I have a genesis day one running 42×18 used almost daily for the commute and some off road detours on the way home – love it. No pics tho’!

Same as Cupra. Run it at anything from 42×18 to 42×14 fixed. Surprisingly capable off road.

Had a tricross then got my hands on a cross check. Recently changed the fork and dropped over half a kilo in the process, love this bike to bits. Used to run 42:16/19 but changed to 39:19 for my first race a few weeks ago and seemed about right for slow speed corners and still climbed past folk (although spinning out on flat straights)

If you want to see a gorgeous ss cx then ask Deano T (or find his flickr)

I have a flickr group folk are welcome, in fact encouraged to add to sscx

but not sure I’ve the balls to race CX singlespeed

I think Rorscach off here used to race SS. Though each time he laps me he deffo has at least 9 sprockets….

Anyway, isn’t SSCX more of an American thing?

Here’s my Dolan Multicross in its latest guise

That Speedvagen is stunning.

I’m just about to build up a crosscheck the same as fontmoss’s – think you’ve made my mind up for me on the fork!

He’s just too shy to proclaim his real lust – sscx 😉

2tyred, if you can afford an enve fork they look incredible

Some hairy legged twonk on my Crosslight. It’s now a bit more scratched than it was in that photo 😥

Perhaps some will be along who has a clue how to post an image from flickr straight into the forum.

I can’t access flikr here but somewhere in the page will be some code that you can copy and paste into here to show the image.

It’ll start {img}http:// except that the curly brackets { } will be square ones []

SS ratio is usually 38-18

I’d love a Kite if it had disc mounts, Sam…

Then buy a Peregrine 🙂

Looks like too much of an old man/retrogrouch bike for me, I’m afraid…

My recently purchase Tricross SS at Glentrool a couple of weeks ago.

42:18

Cheers, Rich

I’d love to try some tubs

No pics … but a Felt Cross Breed running 39 x 18 – ’tis very nice 😀

My pair of Sevens. 22 different ratios of SS each!

yeah i really wanted to say “show me your ssxc bikes” but thought i’s be left with a one hit thread 😯

i just picked up a Traitor Crusade frameset at half trade price and will try 39×19 to start with. i’ll post a pic when its finished if anyone’s intrested 😉

any tires to avoid? tubs would be nice but just too much money

Fixed 38-16

SS 42-18

Gearing feels the same and now have 42-18 on the fixed some times think 42-16 would work better fixed but not got round to trying yet
