Got this sweet score on e-bay.
http://picasaweb.google.com/jim.hart...ngleSpeedBuild I ordered my SS Cranks / Wheelset; everything else will be coming from misc. stock and parts. I'll post updates. I'm so excited I can barely see straight. ![]() ![]() Last edited by jh4rt; September 25th, 2007 at 8:05 PM. Reason: images |

Built it up tonight, as it came, as a geary.
Weird stuff. This bike has an IF fork (see pics from link above) which is almost 1.25" longer than the BOI on my Yo (as measured from center of axle to top of head-tube). It rides pretty cool. I am totally digging it. I can't wait to build it up as a SS. I'll take more pics and post as it goes along. If anyone has any erudite advice, do please feel free to post it up. -j |

I took it for some pre-conversion testing last night.. did a pretty nice (3-4 hill / ~15mi) test last night. Worked great, except for the chain suck. (Now I remember why I still ride thumbies and no indexing)... Going to ride my old Yo tonight, but probably with these new x-max wheels. |

Just say no to tensioners. Get yourself a proper ENO eccentric hub. You can order them in black.... I have one on my buckshaver.

Trying to decide what stem/bar combination to run. I have a couple sets of Scott AT-2's and a Kore Lite straight bar. I like Mary's too, but... hmm. Any suggestions? Where are the pics of your buckshaver? |

It's had crank (same only longer and yellow), fork(marathon SL ) and handlebar upgrades since this pic. I'll post new pics once I find some decent grips. |

What bars are you running now? The AT-2s didn't work well? How tall are you again? Bout the same as I, as I remember. You have a pretty long stem there, though. I'm thinking about running the AT-2s with a 50mm stem. -j |

I am 6 feet tall but with long arms. Those aren't AT-2s they are knock offs that didn't work as well. I switched them for wider flat bars. The stem is a 135mm 10 degree model.

OK... due to age (mine, not the bikes) and feebleness, I'm going to trade my IF fork for a suspension fork. That means.... I'm going to build the 91 Yo into my SS and turn my 99 Yo back into a gearie with a fox rlc vanilla fork.
I actually have a question. My 91 yo has an aluminum (add-on) anti-chain-suck device. My 99 has the studs in the bottom for Fat's device. Should I cut those off and use the add-on one? My experience so far is that the one on the 99 doesn't work and the chain sucks anyway. With the one on my 91, I have never experienced chain-suck. LMK your thoughts. -j |
