I'm in love with the OnOne fork and stays. I just
wish they'd hurry up with the sliding dropout
version because I want to run discs..

No thanks.. gotta have skillz (correct spelling) to
be able to ride pink Surlys. I'd love a 24 "[censored]
King" though - if only I could ride it!

Since you're off to the US anyway ;-) , why not pick up a new bike while you're there, say

or (drool)

Aint the On-One stuff just rebadged or made by PlanetX?

There's 2 couriers round the CBD ridin ilPompino's. One SS-flatbars. the other fixed-drops and carbon fork. luckily the mac keyboard is totally waterproof...

How do they get the disc brakes to work with
the track ends? Surely tensioning the chain would
throw the disc-to-caliper alignment off?

Yeah this is surely a sweet piece of work!
But... my next SS won't be using an eccentric
bottom bracket. I want those sliding vertical
dropouts. Ahh the simplicity.. <cue outboard?> ;-)

I presume its the same as with the Surly. I grabbed the camera to take a couple of photos but the batteries were flat. Maybe
tomorrow.

I've seen an On One with disc brakes so what's stopping you now?

Sister companies. Brant (who posts to mtbr - wotta legend)
designs for both companies. Planet-X were the more extreme
bikes, like my Zebdi (which is still for sale people! :-) ).

Damn batteries.. I want some AA's that last 5 years..

Yeah, it can be done, but it's meant to be a real
pain. Think about it - as you tension the chain by
moving the wheel back, the disc rotor moves in
relation to the calipers too. It can't be fun having
to adjust your brakes whenever you move the
wheel..

Oh, James from On-One-Oz says he's still
hassling the UK crew for the sliding dropout
version of the InBred. InBed? InBread?

Hippy,
