[Closed] Lets see your On One Fatty chassis builds.

I don't have a chassis build, I bought the whole bike but I'm just about to change a lot on it.

This weekend I will be drilling the rims, replacing the forks for carbon fatty's, and a few other bits and bobs.

I can see a build up from a chassis being quite expensive.

Excuse the mess.
Just waiting for a crankset now.
Need to sort out the tyres.
All in at the moment £620.

This weekend I will be drilling the rims,

What rim tape are you using?
I've got the hole cutter sorted for mine but no rim tape yet.

I bought some white Surly rim tape. It's 80mm so will have to trim it down on the edges a little to get it to fit.

A lot of people use Duct tape, you can get it in any colour, just pull off a piece that's the same circumference as the rim and lay it down sticky side up, then get another and stick it down to that so you have stuck it sticky side to sticky side. Have been told it's a bit of a faff but works well. I was going to get some orange off ebay but got the white instead.

Cool. I was thinking about doing the duct tape thing, I might have a look for some in one if the DIY places tomorrow.

Same here ...bought as a full bike ..changed brakes first ......cos they're shit .....then went 2x10 .....then drilled the rims ..now the latest .....changed the qr f&r to Hope ..cos the wheels kept falling out while riding ...

Aw yea! Let's keep this thread going. Very fatty curious after seeing Beerbiker's at Twentyfour 12 last weekend. It's a good looking bike, for a fatbike. I really don't need one, but it would be a good project to keep me busy during the winter.

can I ask where id the geometry for the on one fatty?

or what size for 5ft 11/6ft

All this being fitted today. My knees knackered so building has replaced riding for a bit.

What fork is that?

what are the forks please ?

I'd say those were carver carbon fat forks, nice but you may find the offset and axle to crown is a bit short for the on-one.

OO oo oo I know this there Carver O' Beast Carbon fork 🙂

Hay vondally here you go mate I'd say you where an 18 inch frame for your height.
http://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/CBOOFATX5/on_one_fatty_fat_bike

Axle to crown on them are pretty much the same as the OO forks.

Yeah, they are the Carver O' Beast Carbon fork

yeh the axle to crown difference is only 5mm the offset difference is 10mm less, with with a 68 degree head angle of the on-one may well make it a bit more sluggish on the cornering and prone to tuck.

It's always the chance you take when swapping forks. Will see how I get on with them.

cheers batman11

off to consider winter project.......

Bought as stock in Feb, upgrades = Formula brakes, Hope QR's, Mary Bars, drilled rims were an On One prototype upgrade, rim tape on Ebay.
Larry tyres fitted for sand riding option

1 x 10 is perfect, you don't need 2 x 10 IMHO

And you need to ride some propper hills

i forgot you are a riding God
[img] [/img]
...who needs a granny

No riding god just talking the truth.
Seems you think [b]you[/b] don't need any lower gearing.
Well you wouldn't would you with your canal trips.
Please feel free to borrow my 1x10 Fatback and not push up the climbs round some Elan Valley routes though...
I'll even let you keep the bike if you can clean all the climbs. 8)

I'll even let you keep the bike

And you'd have to ride the climbs without a granny and that'd never happen. 😆

John your fatty is the first on one I've seen that I actually like. That's a nice build.

Not keen on the On One phats

My latest upgrades.

White Answer stem, black spank spike bars, orange spacers and seat post clamp, carbon forks and hope QR's.

I'm really pleased with the way it looks.

dear lord Saturday drinking beer and now thoroughly engrossed...these fattys look wonderful twoniner very loverly

how did folk drill the holes?
what was the drill bit and so on?

Gearing seems to be a debate....what are people running for the hilly north of England ...especially for those who do not live by canals?

what are the bikes like in the mud?

Hole saw for drilling* dutys and gear it how you'd gear any bike with heavy wheels on your local stuff. 😉

*As big as you dare that'll fit between the spokes.

oh dear lord...........................

I think these look great! Never tried one so curious to what they are like though?

How would you describe the ride characteristics of a fatty?

Ride = Guaranteed smile inducing.

The 1/10 gearing is pretty good but living in the hilly north a lower gear would be nice
But can get up most of my local stuff with the stock gears,

No idea on mud performance as its been cracking and dry since mine arrived in march .

Ride characteristics for me are fun laugh a minute
great on the rocky stuff but 2 psi too hard can make a huge difference
I am currently running Tubeless and 8 psi which is a little too hard for the offroad stuff and a little too soft for the road but for me a good compromise .

The back tyre is wearing quite fast about half done in 500 miles of mixed riding .

makes a great trail centre bike except for the braking bumps at Gisburns Hully Gully

Sorry SSS

I should have said 1 x 10 is perfect for me and my riding. I don't think I need 2 x 10.

North Welsh hills for me and Fatty tomorrow and 1x10 will be fine for me.

Please accept my humble apologies.....

thanks trout can I ask are you Yorkshire/nr ilkley based?

Yep Silsden If you want to have a spin on it

cheers trout just to live that way gives me an idea of gearing.

Not mine, but a muddy fat

I find the gearing on the 1x10 fine and I live in hilly North Wales/Snowdonia. There are a some times where I wish I had an easier gear (probably because I'm idle) but most of the time it's fine.

Will I get much of a fat bike effect with those On One Chunky Monkey tyres?
My parents live near some big dunes (Braunton Burrows) and I've always ridden the land rover tracks. I would just love to head in a straight line to the beach then do all of Saunton Sands without sinking in.
