my brothers, ignore the slippy seat angle and the unconventional non-drive side pic,

What about the brake hoses? 🙂

haha yer, i spoke to him about that, he first fixed it, took it to the LBS and they didn't trim the hoses when they set to all up,

needs sorting

Got the rear 50mm Nextie wheel built up now. Gives great volume to a 2.25 Ardent.

Link to rims please. Did you build them yourself?

I built them and they were fine to work with. Rims are [url= http://www.nextie-bike.com/fat-bike/29-inch-wheels-50mm/carbon-fiber-fatbikes-29inch-rim-50mm-width-tubeless-ready-double-wall-jungle-fox-nxt50jf ]here[/url]. Service was good, and they dealt with a warranty issue very smoothly.

Thanks.

What's the EBB clamp bolt torque setting?

Cheers

Not very tight for the bolts - 4nm, which without a torque wrench, is not much more than hand tight. Don't crank it, all that will happen is that the BB shell will flex.

THanks cokie - 4nm

Locktite too?

I didn't bother. I've done 7 months of riding, mostly in mud, without bother and adjusting it is easy.

Latest Stooge incarnation - thought I would try her single speed

This is my third and ABSOLUTELY FINAL TIME IN MY LIFE EVER I am going to try ss

Why oh why in god's holy name does anyone really [i]want[/i] to do this

Misery

Anyway, looks nice with Middleburn RS-8's. Gives the Stooge a retro look

Misery and suffering is precisely why people ride SS 😉

It depends where you ride but I felt that after the first few rides.

After a while it clicked though and although I don't ride SS all the time now it is a different type of riding experience I enjoy from time to time.

Some folk just want to make life harder for themselves 🙂

I love my Stooge as an SS bike! There is no way I'd want gears on it.
I've been thinking about changing a few of my other builds to SS now.

Why buy a frame with an ebb in the first place if your not going to go SS ?

I might put gears back on after doing puffer SS and this happening on Lap 15

you can choose effective seat stay length and alter the BB height a bit too?

Kbrembo - did you roar in acknowledgement of your own puissance?

Got the opportunity to swap my purple for a SS specific blue one and went for it. I'm liking the blue more all the time.

Me too and liked it quite allot to start with.

*Spam alert* My Middleburn SS set-up is FS

SS kit only or bike??

What's the difference between the SS only and the others ...just 3 holes behind qr ?

Less cable guides

Nooooooo - kit only 🙂

RS-8 Cranks, Uno ring etc

Kbrembo - chapeau

🙂

I ride mine SS because, despite living right next to some great trails, I have young kids - so a bike that can go back in the shed whatever its state is a major bonus. 🙂

So... any sign of the red special edition?

i'll let you know in about 3 weeks, Honorable George.

Is there any more exciting news coming Andy 😈 ?!

I've waited patiently for 4 WEEKS. WHAT'S THE NEWS ANDY 😈 !!

Gah. I spent an almost exactly Stooge-frame-sized fee on four new car tyres this morning. A new bike is off the list for a bit for me.

Although.....
