Behold ... the TrailMonster
TMThis is a 'remix' of my formerly Alfine-equipped 1x1, now rebuilt as a fixed-gear as God intended
Actually, it's a Dingle-speed - 17/21 Dingle cog at the back, 38/34T chainrings up front; one gear for the road, one for the trail - it's geared pretty low since it
is meant as an off-road machine.
Needs a bit of work done on the brake hoses (rear needs shortening, front needs a longer hose) but it's quite rideable and, shall we say, 'interesting'.
Its currently in 'road' mode, meaning slicks and mudguards, but for fire-road shenanigans the 'guards come off and a pair of 2.0" knobblies go on although being a Surly there's enough clearance for 2.7" DH tyres if I'm so inclined.
