after an afternoon of fiddling and wresteling trying to get 5speed power links to fit a 1/8" chain 😳 I give you, the 456 SS twingle speed 😀
as it weighs more than the sun, its 32:18 in one setup
and as it occasionally dabbles at DHery, with walking on the ups and pedalling down the downs, the other is 36:15
if it works ok (which i don't doubt it wont), i may splurge on a proper 36t ring, but the ramped steel one was only 7 quid....
for those of you bodgers out there with sharp eyes, you can retro fit a Roller, onto a on-one-singulator, with a packet of M5 nuts and bolts from focus, and three inners from old jockey wheels
the 50mm bolt fits perfectly length and width wise, and a stack of M5 nuts equates perfectly to the little Hex rod that comes on the singulator.
Why, i hear some of you wonder....
Because i can 😀 (and too much coffee)
Twingles are ace.
I like it.
let me know if it makes it to the end of the road without failure
That's nothing my bike has 18 gears ;-p
Nice work Olly.
what a heap of crap
I've thrown better looking bikes in the canal 😀
If you fit mechs and shifters, you wouldn't have to stop to change the gear ration
Interesting twingle speed Olly, I like it. How's the chain line when you swap over?
Why not just fit a 3 speed sturmy archer hub, then adjust it badly 🙂
marks for effort though!
chain line is spot on hoojum
from inside of freehub, its 1 large spacer, 18t cog, small spacer, 15t cog and then a single spacer from an old HTII bottom bracket
Nice 🙂
I was looking into doing something like this and changing the gearing to suit the type of ride I'm doing. I love the idea of singlespeed but I ride quite a variety and one ratio would always be a compromise depending on the trail/type of riding I'm doing on the day.
