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
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
- Jonestown, a.k.a. Mr Stooge, pg.15Not 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

[i]Why buy a frame with an ebb in the first place if your not going to go SS[/i]
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?
Me too and liked it quite allot to start with.

Because its a great frame and the eccentric BB means you can monkey around with the BB position a bit. Plus it makes for a fairly stiff BB area which turns out to be a very good thing.
*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

SS kit only or bike??
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 ?!

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.....

So i've been busy, hence the fact i've not had much of a chance to get on here. Latest Stooge news - one word, Titanium.

Ooh Ti sounds nice ....
So if you could wait until I can afford one, that'd be cool. Not that I need (or can afford) a new bike!
Looks like no BoB for me though as moving house...probably
