Can somone take a look over this and let me know what i have missed ? ๐
Frame
On one Scandal 29er
Build Kit..
WB Fluid 110 - Crap for a Full sussser IMHO! Should make a nice retro H.T
Spacers Rear wheel needs converters (any advise on converters?) looking at. DMR kit 16t
RaceFace Ride XC Singlespeed Chainset 32 or 34 ?? (What BB will I need?) ISIS Anyone know of a white BB???
Brakes need advice on great stopping set (cheap) I am 100 Kg so weight is not really a problem (for the bike)
FSA Headset White
Bars - White
Stem - have one lying around
Think thats it any obvious omissions / complete noob to SS so any advice is welcome
Thanks
Bert

i got some deore v-brakes and my SS uses slick tyres(for road) and the stopping power is amazing!
The only ISIS bottom bracket worth having is made by SKF. I buy mine at Stif.
LOL.. O.K obvious gap in the details! the rest if from Stuff i have lying around, the questions are about the bit i have missing
seat post - Thomson 4x
seat post clamp as above
seat -ve missing WTB race
grips - ODI
tyres - Racing ralphs, Bonty Muds or WTB nano raptures
tubes - Less - Stans
pedals - Shimano spd's, Egg beater SL
chain tugs - (No idea Thanks for bringing that one out) the Frame has horizontal drop outs will i need lugs? will this mess with the disk brakes? whats the best way to tackle this?
chain
top cap - Niner beer top or raoring mouse cycles San Fransisco or just plain black ๐
Cheers.. missed a few bits on the build !
No probs
you, er, needing wheels??
cos if so, i've got a lovely pair of SS specific 29er wheels, with a white industries duo freehub (i.e. 2 speed) for sale...
ano purple surly 1x1 hubs in white halo freedomdisc wheels.
very strong...
email me tamarvin at google mail dot com if you are interested ๐
othewise, the set up looks good.
brakes wise i'd be looking at 180/160 rotor set up, with simano XTs. they're pretty powerful ime. look for 2nd hand for cheapness...
you might need chaintugs if the rear wheel is a QR. if its bolted, you prob won't.
generally one only needs a chaintug on the drive side. so shouldn't affect discs.
hth
Ha, yes got wheels nothing special, them wheels you have sound a bit bling, trying to do this in the cheap so going to run with the my winter wheel set DTswiss 7.1's which i got from flee bay...
O O interest what are you looking at for them wheels ?
So for chain tension will i need to run a tensioner, i am puzzled to see how you can run disk brakes on a SS when you may need to move the position of the rear wheel....
Once you've got your chain length right so the wheel is as far forward in the slot as you can go, tensioning as the chain ages only moves the wheel back a very small amount, so you won't need to touch the disc very often, and it's not difficult to do anyway: just slacken two bolts, slide the whole caliper back slightly, retighten bolts. You might have to do it only once. I would also have two tugs, it just makes it easier to keep the wheel square.
Thanks, This all helps.. I was thinking of running it 8 speed until that advise... CountZero.. Cheers!
The last single speed i had was a raliegh burner. Them things were industrial I think I am sorted now (kit and possibly mind) will post a buiild photo in june - july when on one get, delivary of the latest frames!!!
Well thanks to One ones recent express delivary, I have finished the SS Scandal 29er slot drop this weekend, just in time for a quick loop around Horsell common.. Love it.. Knacked though need a few weeks to get the legs into the SS swing !
