That looks great. Good work! Interesting and elegant build to match the interesting and elegant lugs and dropouts. Philip Santa Rosa, CA On Thursday, March 8, 2018 at 10:03:35 PM UTC-8, Jeremy Tavan wrote: > > Finished the handlebar wrap (man, do I need more practice) on my Frank > build -

I had the crankset on hand waiting for a project worthy of it, mainly. It's certainly unnecessary, but I also have a dingle and flip-side cog on this giving a lot of possible gearing choices. The overall tooth calculations: 42 + 16 = 58 (72 gear inches) 36 + 16 = 52 (62 gear inches) 36 + 19

Jeremy: that's an elegant chainring and crankset. Question: Why 3 rings instead of a Dingle and a flip-side cog? You get more gear ratio change for your units of axle movement when you change the # of teeth at the rear, compared to the front. I've thought of commissioning a multispeed fixed hub

They're Dixna cross levers. I think your Merry Sales dealer should be able to order them, though I don't see them on the somafab web store. I'll post a report on them once I've got some time with them. On Friday, March 9, 2018 at 5:53:02 AM UTC-8, Leif Eckstrom wrote: > > Gorgeous. What are

I take part of this back. I would not expect outer chainring/inner cog to work: chain too short. Now for some more coffee. On Friday, March 9, 2018 at 6:57:19 AM UTC-8, Jeremy Tavan wrote: > > It was theoretically set up for outer/outer, middle/inner, inner/other > side. However, I would

It was theoretically set up for outer/outer, middle/inner, inner/other side. However, I would expect middle/outer and outer/inner to work as well - but no real reason to do it. On Friday, March 9, 2018 at 6:25:28 AM UTC-8, Coal Bee Rye Anne wrote: > > Well done! It’s a Tringlespeed! Looks

Here's the crankset. My shop had to machine down the TA chainring for a better match to the shape of the crank spider. In the back, it's a White DOS 19/19, and on the other side of the wheel a 22t freewheel. By the math, assuming an 8t max adjustment range, it should work, but I haven't yet

Well done! It’s a Tringlespeed! Looks like a lot of fun. Curious if the triple/triple gearing is fully functional within the adjustment range of the track ends/dropout slots or is each combo gear ratio & chainline specific? i.e. outer/outer, middle/middle, inner/inner? Brian Cole

Gorgeous. What are those interrupter levers? Modern guidonet levers of some kind? Look awesome. Would love to hear about functionality of those levers once you get some miles in on this bike. Thanks, Leif Chicago -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups
