Any 29ers, SSers or other Koolaid drinkers?

Let's see what you ride.

Here's my 29er, a Qball, quasi custom frame from Michigain with a Marsocchi Fork and my Fetish Fixation 69er, rigid, that I also run fixed gear, too.

Cannondale F5 - I only have 2 hours on this guy.

A (not great) pic of my ride, 2005 Specialized Hardrock Sport from before the clipless pedals were added:

Here's a good laugh though...from before the kickstand came off (which I had to make it easier to get the trailer attached) - photo is from a ride on the bike path in Unionville, actually:

Nice rigs, but I think you guys are missing the point of the thread. Any ride MTB with big wheels, Twenty Nine inches to be exact. Those two bikes have 26 inch wheels. A 69er, is a 26er in the back and 29er upfront. SS is Single Speed. I ride the rail trails with my sons, one in the Burley and one in a Topeak baby seat. On my 69er, I took my daughter on the Larkin Bridal trail on the Trail-a-bike. I rode fixed and she sat pretty the whole time. Great riding! Great way to spend time with the kids and get some exercise, too.

Now we are talking! Any pix? I know a guy that runs his as a dirt jumper and only with a rear brake.

I have been looking for a used Sovereign but haven't found one yet, not looking very hard mind you.

On my 29er, I am running 34:22 and the 69er 32:20. Thinking about changing them up now that I finally have my climbing legs!

Bah, you're only cool if you run your DH bike without a chain!!! 0-speeds!!!

Sweeeeet 29'er!

Earlier this summer, my GF and I took this 2001 Klein Attitude and turned into my SS.
I Freakin Love it!!

This is the semi finished project. I've changed out the saddle, added a took kit, and have a new fork handlebars and stem ordered.

Carrie, if you want I can sell you my der.

 

[Gremf]

What's that holding the tensioner?

 

[Trekchick]

That is a zip tie.
We used that while we were figuring out which gearing to use.
For now I'm using a 32/16, but I'm amping it up to a 15 as soon as I get my stuff.

Mine was a SS temporarily after a stick killed my derailleur on the last ride, BTW.

Trekchick - Thanks for the offer but Brian says your der wouldn't work. Figures, eh?

 

[Trekchick]

I kinda figured, Carrie, but it made for a good post/offer.
When does your hunk 'o burnin love think he's going to get you back on two wheels?

Part should be arriving on Wed. Guess it will go quicker now that he can't put the bashguard on. :lol:

Here's one...action shot...and here's one of my bro on his 1 speed Soverign. Real nice bike for the coin.

 

[Gremf]

Any bike-only pix?

I removed most of the offending posts for you, they now have their own thread:

Now that's moderation! Thanks.

Seen a few other sites where the moderators didn't do squat!

Brian is especially motivated. His boss is a real hard ass. ;-)

Nice! What are you using for a fork?

I converted my FSR to single speed. 5" of travel front and rear with 8" Hayes 9's, a surly singulator and a kick ass cog.

Pix? Is this a fully? What happens to your chain with the suspension compresses?

I'd like to see pics too. You don't see too many SS FS bikes.

The singulator is a spring loaded device like a derailure..it would allow for some chainstay length increase/decrease thru the stroke of the sussy. What's your gear ratio?

I have a 120mm marzocchi DJ 1 (5 inches).
