Full suspension single speed project bike at MtnBikeRiders.c

[Anaki8]

Or you could buy something like a kona bass and save a whole load of time and effort.....just sayin'

[skidpiggy]

@trekfuel09 25 and 9 its just a normal speed and the bike is so simple but works soo good

[skidpiggy]

just finished building one of these on mine...and i found out that an old derailleur arm works so much better than that chain roller..

[Ms360xD]

i want one:o

[jaco504]

@pyromaneak47 that would be a chain tensioner

[shandelear]

would make a good courier bike in boston. so many cobblestone roads.

[irsean]

@experimental: $600? I wish 6 bills is minimum for entry level bikes

[irsean]

Enable "mobile viewing"!!!

[BayouBluesMan]

all great n all BUT yr camera works sucks , u needed to focus on the two joints not at the god damn wheel...

[temartem1]

man try to make the back and front tires thicker

[experimental0000]

sorry but everyone is rich enough to spend $600 on a bike. especially in spots where it will get damaged or stolen easily nomatter what you do to protect it.

[trekliquid55]

Shoddy as fcuk, the rider can't hop on it any great height, bike's a mess after that modification? I can hop higher from 0mph on my full sus' with 27 gears? waste of time but I guess some one just had to do it!!!!

[scorpian96]

Maybe if you weren’t an ignorant fool then you might (try to stay with me here), have been able to see that the bike wasn’t a mess after the bunny hop he just removed the shock to show how the pulley worked with the suspension (he removed the shock because he can’t just compress 150 psi with his arms). And ps no one cares that you think you can bunny hop higher on your huffy, if you really want to showcase your sweet ride and gravity defying stunts then upload a video.

[trekliquid55]

@scorpian96 just face it, it's a piece of shit!! modification my arse that bikes only good for parts and scrap value, it's fucking awfull!! I've been riding for years and only once in a while do you see shit like this but it is worth it for the comedy value!!

Waste of time, ruined a substandard crappy ride and made it only good for throwing in a hole in the ground! wankers!!!!!!!!!

[scorpian96]

@trekliquid55 Haha the fact that it is the equivalent of a Wal-Mart bike and it was probably a good 35 pounds I’m not denying that but it’s still pretty interesting.

[kno3nitro5cole]

@trekliquid55 i totally agree

[MsFreighttrain]

@trekliquid55 ano, only bikes that should be single speed are jump bikes and bmx's not cross country bikes

[trekliquid55]

@MsFreighttrain ??? so my trekliquid 55's no good for jumping? why I can clear a set of 20 foot doubles in the air then? or am I dreaming ? No I am not, I 'huck' my ride all over the place, bust a wrist jumping a 30 odd foot step down Spain a couple of years ago, Oh no I didn't I was dreaming this as you say cross country bikes are not for jumping, sorry I only have 37 years on the saddle to my name and I bow down to your superior intellect on such matters, I stand corrected..........?

[MsFreighttrain]

@trekliquid55,what are you going an about, should be meana should be not cant be!

and to be honest i dont care how far you can jump, jumping far isnt hard, its tricks that make them hard, and two cross country bikes arnt ment for dirt jumping, they have too much travel in the forks and the shocks would just burst if you landed hard and i know that can happen as ive seen it

[oflodnil]

GTS???

[frankster262]

is that a kona coiler frame?

[acidDISTORTION]

a j-hop on a full suspension is cheating...

[gearhead22996]

do some wheelies

[lilyaman213]

aint it hard to ride a single speed on a trail?

[pixuma]

@PrepDirtJumper easy as pie

when you really think about it... it makes no sense

lolz

[illcivil]

wow, i want this. can you build me one?

[GrandmasMan]

@illcivil you just need a sprung chain tensioner (surly singleator) some cassette spacers and a single speed specific chain, chainring, and sprocket

[motabikeboy]

very impressive.

[caballoalizeero]

i dont know, it looks like a trek liquid 2003 or something

[s38a5t13n]

do u use it as a slopestyle bike?

[Kattaylor1154]

im afraid the tensioner at the back will snap if you jump something really high

[yada147258]

Waste of time

[thomerrrrrrrrr]

what tensioner is that?

[JTbicycles]

yey im not the only person with a full suspention single speed mtb

[bongoboy4]

kick ass- my friend had a little kids mountain bike and he turnede into like a awsome little full suspension bmx and u can pro hop it like a bitch lush work though

[iiTzNitrousX]

I have the same chain tensioner!

[MrLoveloaf]

im single speeding an azonic saber up temporarily until i get a shifter for my cassette true it sounds like a bad idea but i just cant wait to ride it. maybe thats what this guy was doing? think before you comment.

[KYjelly]

I rune the day some hipster thought it would be a good idea to make a MTB single speed.

[isledalfino]

gear ratio....!

[scubadiver75]

you should be shot for wasting a FS frame like that

yeah but seriously you should be shot

[GrandmasMan]

who cares? it just has a chain tensioner and some spacers for the cog. Whoop dee do

[whiphaand]

DUDE! check out the DEEPCOVE G-SPOT I put one together 5 yrs ago........... perfect!!!!

[luv2scoot]

that was nicely put together not the vid the bike :D

chain tensioners are useful to more ppl when designed like that

[b1k3r666]

i thought that chain was gonna sag like my grandma's....

nice work

[nujabe]

any one help me i seen a guy in london in selfriges bike shop and the bike looked like a a normal bike but it had no chain and used some kind of drive train like a car it was weird it had no chain looked like a fixie almost

[Slapstickk]

was it shaft driven?

[nujabe]

i think it was ..

[Eleyo9]

THAT IS A NICE BIKE MAN

[improbablyaninja]

had my giant anthem set up like that for a while. too much fun when you pass everyone on a single speed.

[malchiah9090]

I WANT IT!

[champagnehyu]

I take back what I said about that chain tensioner. Mine was improperly aligned.

I suck.

[Cr3ativity]

Is there not a bicycle model that does not have a chain? I saw it on Daily Planet and the bicycle uses ball bearings instead but with that comes a hefty price....

[champagnehyu]

I have that chain tensioner.

It sucks.

[Marzocchirider6]

haaaa KONA has already mastered that project! and dont say they havnt! you put one of their riders on any other full single, they'll destroy it!

[MorkaGraven]

yip but Kona lack good ride quality and construction.

[dab4lyf]

sorry man but that single-speed is pretty shit. lol mine shits all over that, JUST SAYIN. lol any way good vid BY THE WAY BUNNY HOP HIGHER LOL

[Antillon91]

suck

[IAMpersonality]

I cant decide to go rigid or suspension for a recreational jumping mtb im building.. is rigid fork strictly used because its easy to toss a rigid bike around while doing tricks? or are there other advantage.

[crashanddie]

lighter, cheaper, no maintenance. I wouldn't recommend a full-suspension bike unless you're doing downhill.

[IAMpersonality]

:P just ordered my new trailblades. thanks for reply

[canaanav]

why??????

[CrusTyGTA]

because is street/dirt bike? ¬¬

[canaanav]

Not sure. He has trials gears on it, but I've never seen a full suspension trials bike. In fact most are rigid front and back.

And then suppose it is going to be used as a single speed trails bike. Wouldn't the full suspension aspect be against the grain with the simple, light, and minimalistic bikes that single speeders are looking for?

Its having an identity crisis. It's interesting though.

[soaper1]

i turned my 300 dollar gt aggressor into a thousand dollar bike.

turned it into single speed, everything new

[MosherDom]

ooooooh wow $1000 soo much my forks cost more than that and turning a shitty GT aggressor singlespeed its just pointless go get a decent bike you fucking retard

[tangelo777]

dude nice build... talented rider... excellent choice in music.

[peeloboy]

@tangelo777 How is that a talented rider?

[tangelo777]

@peeloboy Its not exactly easy to jump like that from a dead stop. Nor is it easy to do track stands like that. Why is it a crime to give a compliment?

[pixuma]

@tangelo777 what are you talking about. trackstands are pie, bunny hops are even more pie

[SuperZackdavis]

@tangelo777 this song is fucking awsome

[SuperZackdavis]

@tangelo777 its baby makin music

[ro0o0fl]

dont put biking videos on youtube. retarded ignorant people will always bombard your videos with comments like "omg thats got a full suspension and disc brakes! is that specialised!?!??!!!11

AND IT FUCKING PISSES ME OFF

[dahgutone]

Don't watch it then. YouTube is free to the public. You can't tell anyone right from wrong except YouTube. So just relax.

[ro0o0fl]

FUCK YOU COCK SUCKER I WILL FIND YOU AND SMASH IN YOUR KNEE CAPS WITH A FUCKING SLEDGE HAMMER!!!!!!q

[dahgutone]

HAHA. How old are you? Mid 20s? My comment wasn't even that offensive. LMAO well, I'm a Therapist and by the way you reacted with my comment, you need to take some management classes. Are you on medication? Drugs? Steroids? If you need help, I could recommend you to a rehabilitation center.

[ro0o0fl]

i was joking grasshole

[dahgutone]

Joking or not. What you said can be really offensive. Who knows, I could have been suicidal because it was that offensive.

Anyway, I just wanted it out there because when you're behind a computer you think your invisible. But sometimes you forget what you can do with a computer.

[ro0o0fl]

you want offensive? i'll show you offensive.

seig heil 14/88 aus doicheland, fuck the niggers! fuck the kykes! fuck the rag heads! your probably a camel faced bagel eating kyke mother fucker

[dahgutone]

HAHA.

[drumaniac911]

wow you are soooo sooo tuff arent you threatning people over youtube i doubt u could even pic up a sledge hemer u are probly a little nerd at skool arent you huh

[ro0o0fl]

your probably a nigger.

[owlz3]

wooooo calm down m8 almost as bad as him :P there are better sites 4 bike vids and i c wot the guy meant but he doesnt need to read the comments or complain bout thm wow that was a rant soz ppl

[ro0o0fl]

what the fuck would anybody use youtube for if they couldn't make other people angry? its hilarious how pissed off people get over these comments i make. the thing is, im not serious. im sitting her laughing my ass off.

[ivanceranic]

what is the cost of the moutin bike full supspension with disc brakes?

[ro0o0fl]

depends what your looking for, you could get a shit walmart "full supsension extreme dh" bike for like 200 bucks, but you could go buy a session 88 or karpiel for 8 grand

[1wetstick]

that is so weak no pleas nobody should feel pain because of this flimzy concept

[Smethjt05]

Singulator is week. Broke it multiple times on my HT SS.  A full suspension SS bike defeats most of why anyone would ride a SS- Efficiency!! Use the ENO ECCENTRIC HUB by White Brothers OR buy a rig with an ECCENTRIC BB. COOL idea though...

[feelmo]

what i get, single speed full suspension or like a gary fish or specialized typ bike>?

[s00perflab]

Aren't you amazing

[NitroRoo]

Cool looks like it works well. I have a woodstock 505, too bad they went under.

[Limmiestreeter]

uuuuh.. what an idea.. with an chain tensionier and then that mini-bunnyhops.. loool.. noob

[floatingaxehead]

Is that a fixed gear setup? I'm seriously considering going single speed, just trying to sort it all out.

[bigshow6000]

One thing I did with my bike is I used the original rear deraileur as a chain tensioner. I took the deraileur apart took the spring out of it, replaced the pins that held it together with nuts and bolts. I tightened each bolt accordingly, and that holds the chain in place. I still ride it to this day. My bike still has the original freewheel casstte. But it rides like normal. Thats another way to go instead of blowing a bunch of money on a speed conversion kit.

[wwetnasucks]

Full Sespension Bikes Brake Realy Fast

[bilbo1181]

thats only if you a buya piece of shit one from fukinh halfords you noob and any full sus under about £800 is a piecs of shit and waste of time

[taius20]

my 04 stinky was 400 quid and thats mint. had a few upgrades tho

[lineseven]

Its actually quite common. The tensioner works. But a dual pully version will work much better.

But this idea isn't new, its been around since rolfoff hubs.

[timmahh2k7]

i bmx but i have a jump bike or what ever with only front forks...it is a 7 speed...i was wondering how i can go single speed pleeeease

[bipbiplechat]

just by yourself the DMR singlespeed conversion kit, its like 30$ canadian and it replaces your cassettes, OR you can by yourself a wheel that has a singlespeed hub

[samsontheemo]

its a nice idea, but in my exsperience.. it wont work, the spring will become slack in the tensioning device

[spln4u]

I have used the same single speed tensioner, (its called a Godspeed ) for 2 years and its still working like it was brand new. I do some serious drops and it has NEVER dropped my chain yet. I did the single speed conversion and used my cassette with spacers and it is my most favorite bike I have ever had.
