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

What about the brake hoses? 🙂

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.

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.

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

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.

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 ?

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.

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.

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. 🙂

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.
