Trying to decide on a rear tyre to fit

It’ll be on for a while, so fingers crossed dry and fast

Any suggestions

On my original build I used a 2.4 X-King on the front and a 2.2 out back, worked well and the bike lived up to my expections.

Then I fitted a Dually and Chronicle up front. It does change the ride and actually lets you do some pretty stupid things. My biggest issue is bars, the Stooge has turned me into a compulsive bar swapper, there’s nothing wrong with any I’ve fitted but I’m always convinced the next pair will be that little bit better. At the moment I’ve got flipped On-One OG bars on there … don’t worry, I’ve apologised to Andy for it already. 😀

The wider front rim made a appreciable difference for me too (with Chronicle)

Any other suggestions for a rear?

Are any other owners having trouble with a slipping seatpost? Mine won’t stay put with a QR so I’ve had to go with an Allen bolt collar.

It’s definitely my favourite bike, and a keeper (until the Ti one comes along obviously)

No issue here. What post is it?

I’ve used a Thompson lay back and currently a Kent E ti – both were fine

Mine slipped a bit with my Gravity Dropper and a cheap oem clamp but today I used a Surly constrictor clamp and no issues so far

No seatpost problems here with a Twelfty and an RSP dropper.

Stooge rides best with a 51mm offset 100-120mm suspension fork. Its fab 29+ but metal with boing. See the stooge facebook or one cog facebook for pics.

Mine slips with a Thompson and a qr done up very tight, might switch to carbon paste. I blame the Thompson post!

titanium Stooge frames should be landing next week, photos to follow

^ 😀

BTW Bonesetter, not normally a supporter of the big S, but the Specialized Slaughter is a great rear tyre.

Thanks Mr S 😉

I’ll give that a look

Excited! Have you got a price and spec on the frame?

they’re sitting in customs at the moment, as soon as i know how much they’re going to charge i’ll be able to work out a price. And as soon as i get them i’ll be posting photos. But in a nutshell, 44mm headtube, bigger downtube, slightly bigger top tubes, more tyre clearance, should be a bit of a beast.

If anyone is interested in a blue frameset, I’m looking to move mine on.

900!

Daffy. Sent you an email.

What ‘ti forks’ are recommended to keep the character of ‘steel Stooge?’

well, got my stooge built up (thanks to sideways Tim)

went out for first ride this eve

just what I wanted, seems to roll very well, and quite comfy with genesis alt bars and high front end, my first bike with 11spd (xx1) and I quite like it so far. must have bought hope out of purple bits ! northpaw rims

heres a pic (and yes, I am a shortarse)

What ‘ti forks’ are recommended to keep the character of ‘steel Stooge?’

Now there’s a question. To start with steel Stooge – getting something with same group/offset is tricky.

Great pic coz. great colours

Would you mind saying your’s and the bike’s size for the record

I have some folk who are interested on sizing

Cheers

bike size – they are all the same size

so im running a straight post and a 30mm stem to make it just right for me

Im about 5’6″ 30 inch inseam,

Looks a sweet ride 🙂

Sunday bump as we are all waiting for pics of the titanium frame. Oh, and price too please Andy.

At 6’5″ are these going to come up too small as i dont like long stems and huge amounts of seat post showing! Anyone my size got a pic they can post please?

Ooooops – pic fail.

Stooging on WRT

No idea why pic is so small!

Edit – sorted!

Clink …that Purple Stooge looks the business…….the blue ..hmm not so much

I heard the purple colour was to compensate…

But of course a ti finish would be nice 😉

tease

Presumably there is flexibility in the spec of this frame?

For example, size (larger/smaller riders), threaded BB, finish etc?

My god ………that lawn … 😯

Not quite what I was expecting.

Is the finish grit blasted, etched, or is it paint?
