I typically run my saddle on average 1.5-2" lower on a SS....with all the standing for climbing, typically the only time I sit is when I need a break It's nice to have it down & out of the way as well.Just wondering is all. But why would your seat height differ on a SS vs. any other bike?
Let us know how it rides, steers, and handles the tight twisty stuff.
Must feel good to have it all completed.
Who's the Hamster then?
Why do you change bikes every month?
...I just like to try different setups...just like you. That's what I was implying The DMR's were fine...heavy, but fine. I have the XT's & wanted to give them a try. No hidden meaning. I'm also not very fashion conscious....just want the best functioning setup.ehhhh.....I was just wondering if you went with shorter cranks or something or if there was something wrong with those DMRs, especially since the XTs (which I think are sweet cranks) don't really fit with that color scheme you had going on.
I haven't seen any to date. Another reason I had to start from scratch with this project. Fred's artistic ability is the icing on a very functional cake
Not so sure about that. One of the reasons I went with the 470mm a-c was in anticipation of the newer crop of fork offsets. For example, I think that the new Fox (80mm) w/ the 51mm offset would likely be a decent pairing. Now the QR only option, that's another story...nobody is doing a suspension fork that would be a proper match for a bike like yours either.
True - forgot about the Fox.Not so sure about that. One of the reasons I went with the 470mm a-c was in anticipation of the newer crop of fork offsets. For example, I think that the new Fox (80mm) w/ the 51mm offset would likely be a decent pairing. Now the QR only option, that's another story
...one would surely hope soI mean, c'mon Rockshox has gotta give the Pike 29er a go at some point don't you think?
Well, there's the long-promised Origin-8 Scout, Origin-8 being a J&B Imports house brand.. But, so far I don't think anyone has actually laid hands on a frame. The web site shows 16.75" chain stays.The only thing close to your bike in terms of short chainstays is the Simon Bar correct?
I don't think there is any production bike with anything less than a 17" chainstay is there?
Yeah great - but not so great - because they f'd up and you can only squeeze something like a 1.95 rear tire inside those frames. Hence the lack of them showing up methinks.Well, there's the long-promised Origin-8 Scout, Origin-8 being a J&B Imports house brand..

Well hey, whaddaya want for ~$300, anyway? Geez, you can run any cyclocross tire you want, you need more choices than that?Yeah great - but not so great - because they f'd up and you can only squeeze something like a 1.95 rear tire inside those frames. Hence the lack of them showing up methinks.
I would think an E-type derailleur could be accommodated. You'd have to call Fred & ask him about it. He's a super guy to work with and really likes something new to challenge him every now & thenCan the Wolfhound run an E-type front derailleur, or is it strictly SS or 1x9 territory?
