heres a very work in progress pic of my 3x13 39speedi couldnt see any reason why a 13s wouldnt fit my 9s hub and it seems to so far lol, wit a spacer toodesu im probably gonna convert it to a 2x11 at some point to save weight this is just for funsiesim also running a 12s chain because 13s are silly expensivewhat are the chances this fails epically?
>>2009950you may not like it but this is what peak uphill performance looks like
>>2009950you're a fucking nutjob and I love to see it.don't forget that you also can crankmaxx for optimal leverage when going vertical. I'd go at least 175mm.How big are the chainrings?
>>2009951oh my god. the frame even says SOVL
>>2009950i like how the cockpit is turning outi have some 9s microshift thumb shifters mounted upside down inbetween my levers and dildosmy grips got lost in the post i think so im still waiting on them but the cockpit feels very ergonomic and comfy so fari can actually use just my thumb to shift both ways without moving my fingers off the brake levers which i dont think i can do with any other shifter even gripshiftsand i can reach them from the purple bar ends easilymy right shifter for the 13s has a nice ratchetthe left hand one is a 9s i ghetto converted to pure friction but for 2 or 3 gears thats finewould be nice to get a right handed 3 speed to put on the left so theyre both ratcheted if i can find onealso i have compressionless housing for the bb7 calipers and speed dial leversim very exited for these i think this might be peak mechanical braking performancei think the stock pads are resins so il be changing them to semi metallic when the weather starts getting worse
>>2009953lol no ive got 145smy gearing is low enough that ive got all the leverage i need even at that lengthchainrings are 22t 32t 36ti couldve put a 44t on there but i think 36 is as big as i need on this bike>>2009954hehe me and my frens all call this bike the cotic sovl
Next level is the classified hub+this.>>2009955based rear crossmax enjoyer
>>2009958yeah id like a super high engagement hub of some kind because with a 22t to 52t ratio even on this reeelatively high engagement hub the gaps between clicks are still gianttheres these bullshit ones with 300 clicks or something on aliexpress hubs that tempt meid need to learn to lace a wheel though so thats gonna be a future upgradei might be able to get some old trials hub or something on ebay perhaps, thatd be fitting for this build>based rear crossmax enjoyeris that this wheel?i got this thing off a folding bike i bought thatd been heavily modified with mtb partsi dont rly know anything about wheels but it looks perfect on this bike so i like it
>>2009951It’s so optimized for peak uphill it doesn’t even have functional brakes.Seriously, though, you’d be surprised how much energy you’re squandering with these type of knobby tires.
>>2009960tbqh high engagement is just nice if you do super techy trials, or like the BZZZZZ sound.Yeah it looks like a rear mavic crossmax, could be a mavic crossride.The crossmax has the big weird aluminum nipples, straightpull spokes, and was a pretty high end wheel at the time(early 2000's into early 2010's). Since yours is disk it's probably early 2010's/late 2000's.Mostly a trail/all mountain wheel. Modern classification would be downcountry/ light enduro. Could be tubeless ready since mavic was early on the UST(Universal standard tubeless) designation.Mavic wheels were pretty good back then, they just had bad customer service in the states and fell out of favor, while dt swiss was gaining steam+carbon wheels were getting popular.
>>2009963brakes just slow you down hehhhehehehehhhhhheheyeah im gonna change the tyres to some proper fast rolling crosscountries at some pointi do really enjoy dh style tyres thoughtheyre noticably slow on smooth ground but the infinite grip is worth it when i get to use itfor now this bike is more of an experiment for fun thing but over time even after ive gotten it rideable im going to keep changing things out to refine it down into a nice crosscountry bike, dropper post and suspension fork are on the list too>>2009964it says crosstrail on itid like a buzzy hub but not too obnoxious, this one makes a quite nice hard ratchet almost like a freewheelyeah this is the first wheel ive had with straight pulls, aero spokes too which by amazing luck gives me the clearance for the cassette not to rub lolthanks for the info on the wheel
>>2009958Sheldon already built a 63 speed bikehttps://www.sheldonbrown.com/org/otb.html
>>2009951fuck yea dudethat thing is awesome>>2009956>22t 32t 36tget a 53t big ring please.
>>2009951yep, this one is peak
All those gears and you will still be spinning out on 36x11
>>2010003yo based!im reading through iti love sheldon so much, that madman is a big inspiration in my own madnessive had similar ideas too for bikes using multiple sprockets on gear hubsa 3x13x2x3 234speed is actually quite possiblei cant afford the gear hubs thoughi also theorized a 2x3 6 speed fxed gear using gear hubsoh i just remembered if i actually tried to build any of these id probably explode the gear hubs by putting too much torque through them>>2010005hehe thanks44 is as big as my fd can take unless i make my granny gear bigger but i dont wanna do thatjust for fun il get a 44t chainring for her though just to really rangemaxx my drivetraini ride touring bikes too and my ideal set up for that is a 22t to 44t 2x drivetrain so i can use the 44t for that in the futurethat bike wont be gearmaxxed as in number of gears but it will be rangemaxxed with a giant cassette too>>2010017<3>>2010046if im on the 36x11 im already going down a fairly steep hill so i can let gravity take meon my tourer that i ride on the road and take on more gravel type offroading 36 would be too spinny yeahground clerance is also one other reason for the 36 over a 44, weight too i guessdont worry il definitely post pics of my other bikes at some point im gearmaxxing all of them and experimenting with various set ups
>>2009950next i need to brakemaxxi need a bike thats both rim and disk brake compatable then i can have 4 brakes and use tt bars for the other 2 brake levers or something lol
>>2010050
>>2010049>44 is as big as my fd can take unless i make my granny gear bigger but i dont wanna do thatfront (and rear) derailer capacity is kinda meaningless unless you're setting up a bike for someone who refuses to understand their shift pattern. It only affects your ability to crosschain small/small without rubbing, but that's not a useful gear, and the rubbing doesn't damage anything if you go into it by mistake. Same with rd capacity. what matters is matching the curvature of the derailer cage to the big chainring, and with a triple fd, the middle ring shift groove. So yeah i guess it probably wouldn't work well with that mech (those mechs look awesome btw)
>>2010050that was a tandem thing back in the day mafac made dual cable brake leverspeople would run drums and cantis you can actually still get dual cable leversthey're also used by disabled athletes sometimes
setting these up must be a nightmare
>>2010052based
>>2010055the front deraillier has a hard 22t limit between the biggest and smallest chainrings or the chain will rub the top an bottom so there are limitsi have run fds with the wrong size chainrings before also it can work22 to 44 is my favourite range though and what the fds i run are all made for>(those mechs look awesome btw)yeahh this is absolute peak shimano for me they look so edgy i love it>>2010063i wish i could have a tandem one day theyre so cool
>>201005026in mtb is the pick here. Particularly around 2000's when forks came with disk brake mounts and canti/v brake bosses.Rear might be harder since most frames didn't do disk and canti bosses, but I am sure it's possible.
>>2010077>the front deraillier has a hard 22t limit between the biggest and smallest chainrings or the chain will rub the top an bottom so there are limits>rub the topnonsense>rub the bottomdoesn't matterit doesn't matternot trying to convince you to do it just making a general point about derailer limits not mattering. It's not a hard limit at all.
>>2010065Non-aero levers are a pleasure to set up. I fucking hate aero levers
>>2009951>peak uphill performanceWith fucking thumb shifters? I hope you are planning to change that otherwise everyone will know you don't climb anything significant
>>2010081im sorry man but this fd is kinda a collectable and in good condition i really dont wanna scrape it upthe biggest i can go is 44, a 53 with a 31t granny could work but if it doesnt then the chain will scrape up the fd>>2010078yeah theres a version of this on-one fork that has vbrake bosses and disk mounts, i wish i had that one but mines disk only and so is my frametheres a rare version of this frame that has vbrake mounts but its like rare rare there might only be one or two of themtheres quite a few hybrids and tourers that are compatable with both so i can do a quad brake set up at some point>>2010083hhahaa yess damn it took a while the boards rly slow atm what gives?anyway die?i can shift from any gear to any gear with one flick of my thumbfuck mashing a plastic button to try to get down my gears loli live in wales btwi guess its not the swiss alps but its steep as shit everywhere herenormies think im retarded for cycling anywhere but the flat bike paths and towns lol
>>2010084>not trying to convince you to do it >collectable front derailerlol
>>2010085these old bike parts are gonna be worth alot one day maaan
>>2009951that dinner plate is making me laugh.but as long as it works I guess it's fine. that is an extremely low gear, I'm not sure the little ring would even be useful? can you actually ride it fast enough to stay upright in small front big rear? or even mid rear?
