... You need a set of 1-1/8" to 1" reducer shims; then you can use any 1" threadless headset. See http://www.bikeman.com/HD7200.html If you ask nicely, Mr....
Hi KOG group. This is my first post. I bought a Kogswell PR frame and fork on eBay from Pauls Bike Shop. What headset works with this? The headtube is 1-1/8...
... Geometrically, yes. The only problem with it is that Bridgestone used a gauge more than necessary on its sets. I reckon it was an attempt to keep riders...
... Heh - I'm the only one here lucky enough to have a bike available with dual ends to experiment with. It's true that I don't move the wheel around, because...
... Yep. But I think that James may be right about sliders on the rear. ... Yep. Or at the very least dropouts would be easy to sell via e-commerce (as...
\From: jim.gourgoutis [jimg@...] ... I heard Matthew say bolt-on, but I never heard him say sliding. I was imagining a setup where the dropout was a...
... Matthew, I do like your idea of bolt-on front dropouts. Once set up, they'd be no-fuss (better for liability?). The only practical downside I can see is...

... Is it an expectation that people would swap back and forth between trail configs beyond the initial buildup and shakedown rides? On Thu, Nov 12, 2009 at...

So neither of the two P/R framesets offered by Paul's Bike Shop on eBay gathered even one bid (one at $450 and one at $500, which included a bunch of...
From: rswatson@... [rswatson@...] ... The prototype bikes were built with 25mm and 40mm trail forks (plus the 50mm rake forks that never really sold very...
... Yes, 15mm is about the minimum with the kind of design I used. For reference, here is the latest version of the design that I drew for the dual fork-end,...
... Certainly simpler and lighter. But if memory serves me, there's at least a 15mm difference between the two slots. Which renders choices like 45/30 or...
Jim, I can't get to the tinyurtl link right now, but I did see a photo ( on a friend of a friends facebook page) of what I think was that exact fork on a...
... I think I do, but a waterjet-cut dropout (e.g. James Black's design) is likely to be both simpler and lighter, I reckon. That fork I linked to is a...
Check out this 2-position fork end! http://img08.shop-pro.jp/PA01034/855/product/12219519_o2.JPG from http://tinyurl.com/yfeacs4 Zero or 38mm of offset. Hmmm....
