The build took a bit longer and cost a bit more than expected. It was planned as a straight component swap from a Boardman to the one one. But I ended up having to replace the brakes and the cranks as they both seemed OK on the Boardman but the move was too much for them and neither wanted to work properly on the On One.
I also played about with the back wheel a bit before I could get it to work. First trying a single chain tug then one on each side, but even with two chain tugs it was still pulling the wheel to the drive side ( this was before changing the cranks and BB) and ended up getting a solid threaded axle fitted which has not moved.
As for the forks it was always the intention to run it rigid at some point as it was built primarily for the local disused railway tracks. I also planned to rebuild the Boardman as it got loaned out to friends lot.
So Far I have done about five rides and it has done more or less what I wanted from it, it has made the local easy loop a little more challenging and already I can feel my legs getting stronger. Hats off to people who ride them fully off road ( maybe do it as I get stronger ?)
