New bike content – Swift army knife :-)
-
Posted 13 years ago
Afternoon All,
Thought it about time to take some pics of my new (to me) Singular Swift.
Up until August I had been experimenting …. 29er wheels in 26” frames, 69ers, road bike wheels in mountain bike frames etc
Really like the idea of the 29” wheel but fancied a cross bike as well as a fat tyred beast oh and something I could sling slicks on for road work.
From the classifieds a large Swift frame and fork was purchased (cheers Will 😉 ) and I set to work on building up a bike that with a quick change of tyres could do a number of duties 🙂
So whist not to everyone’s taste I present my Swift Arm Knife:
Currently running 1×9 with a 36t ring up front and a 11-32 😕 cassette out back. Seems to give me a good enough range for what I need.
Have really fallen for the 32mm WTB tyres – cut through everything and are pretty grippy too.
The wheels let the bike down a bit as they are fairly heavy but with 17mm rims they allow for a 25mm tyre to be fitted for road duties and also upto a 2.2 tyre.
Bike has only been up and running a few weeks and apart from the need to change the seat post I think I am nearly there.
Thoughts?
