One fuggin speed. Two fuggin chains. Sick!

 

[urbaindk]

Is that really your new ride? (reserves comments)

Vee Brake pride!

Yea, the owner of my LBS built it up for himself, rode it once and then wanted to build a Moots 29er, and needed cash, so I snapped it up.

What's the point?

It's just a little odd that's all. Two chains, rear suspension, no chain tensioners. What keeps the chain(s) tight as the bike cycles through it's travel?

The pivot point, The chain doesn't loosen. It's crazy sick, and I don't blame you for being jealous...

 

[hooples3]

i always like the A and thought about getting one when they came out.. but they were a bit pricey at first

nice bike!!!!!!!

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

Why? What's the point?

 

[BikeGeek]

Why? What's the point?

To what? The bike? Two chains? Singlespeed? Most of N8s posts?

 

[stinkyboy]

I assume you mean the dual drive.

It's just bling. It offers nothing (unless I break a chain )

It can be done, and now I've got some bad azz Phil Wood hubs!

:dancing:

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

So no point? I didn't even think they made v-brakes anymore.

How should I run disks on those hubs?

[ThePriceSeliger]

Get rid of one of the chains, and grab a new hub? Now you have 2 spare non-drive side cranks just chilling. How do you think they feel?

Right on! Hey if it's a bike and makes you happy, right the sh!t out of it brotha!!

I agree. I "needed" a new singlespeed, and no one else has one of these.

And you laugh at the 29er...

 

[Reactor]

One sick bike, Stinky.

Now all we need is a flame war on the benefits of dual drive Vs. the benefits of a 29'er.

Love the pivot point.

 

[Castle]

hmmmm dual drive?

different

 

[stinkyboy]

And you laugh at the 29er...

I laugh at YOU!

What happened to you friday?

 

[N8 v2.0]

I laugh at YOU!

What happened to you friday?

Took the afternoon off.

 

[Westy]

And you laugh at the 29er...

At least Stinkyboy isn't touting the dual drive single speed as the ultimate in physics defying MTB technology.

Shouldn't it be a fixed gear in that arrangement?

I'm an idiot, I'm not insane.

 

[JRB]

I think it looks cool, but would want discs. They say it gives faster engagement. I still think the 108 pt Hadley would be better, and you could run discs. Of course, it's Stink's bike, and if he likes it, I love it.

 

[blue]

How much? and wtf?

 

[jimmydean]

There was an A on ebay last week for about $600 I think. I thought about it and it would be sort of cool. But I'm too broke for a pointless (for me) bike.

 

[Slugman]

I'm an idiot, I'm not insane.

No seriously - how is that rigged? Is there actually a free-hub on both sides? Or is it secured through the axel?

And BTW - fixed ring bikes are fun...

 

[splat]

well as I see it , Unless you have both freewheels in Perfect alighnment , only one side at a time will engage.

Fixed gears Kick Ass on the road, But I can't see using one off road.

 

[stinkyboy]

I've only put about 25 street miles on it, but the instant engagement on both side feels great so far.

 

[partsbara]

nice ride

How can you tell that it's engaging on both sides?

duh... both wheels are turning

I'm sensitive.
