What's the thinking behind the twisted tube design? Any engineering reason?

Question!
How many teeth on the front chain ring and the back?
I'm going to build a S/S soon!Posted 1 year ago # -

Im running a 32 front 16 rear,you do spin like crazy on the road but its awsome off road...
Posted 1 year ago # -
go on then, weight? I'm guessing in the region of 20lbs.
Posted 1 year ago # -
sweet, like the forks too.
Posted 1 year ago # -
At the moment 18.03lb but will go sub 18 when new rotor cranks arrive... the forks are so nice fast control comfortable and most importantly very light.

The weight secret is the wheels,it had to be really as the frame came in at 4lb not that light in modern terms i know...

Tell us all about the wheels, spec costs etc!

At the moment 18.03lb

Stick a hub gear on it, and flats with bar ends and that is my next bike.... lovely.

DT 240 hobs with the 32 pick up upgrade sams ZTR crest rims and sapim x ray bladed spokes that built a pair of 29er wheels weighing 1480 grams retail at about £900 ish... this sounds lavish but i work in the cycle trade so i didnt spend that crazy amount of money on them.
Posted 1 year ago # -
its got flats and im seriously concidering bar end but hub gears are just not for me...
Posted 1 year ago # -
That's real nice Howie and mentally light. [Edit] Makes me think I need to get me some crazy light wheels too.

A good set of wheels will make any bike feel better/faster
Posted 1 year ago # -
only thing I'd be worried about is how flexy those wheels are gonna be..?
Posted 1 year ago # -
I built them with decent nipples so was able to get the spokes really tight also kept with 32 hole 3 cross so not particullaly flexy... i'll update if i come across any issues with them.

What are the forks on her ?
And the pin, stem and bars.
Please
Posted 1 year ago # -
I've just built up a set of 29er wheels with DT Revs - no more flexy than the old ones that had DT Comps.
I'm interested if you live anywhere hilly? My 29er SS is built up with 34/19 and it feels about right? 32/16 is fine on a 26" but the bigger wheels make the gears feel harder. You ridden it?
Nice bike.

howie, are your tyres barro race (non tnt)folding, or barro race tnt?
want some of the non tnt but crc sent me tnt's. they advised me all their stock was tnt but they had folding on their website again a couple of days ago.Posted 1 year ago # -
tires are non tnt and stocks were good when i got them... you should only get what you want or order... fricking awsome rubber tho.
