"vintage"

@@klompex100 gears are great but the simplicity of a single speed bike and the efficiency is a different experience altogether. If you are riding on mostly flat terrain it’s awesome.

@@kendallmonk this makes sense! i see many people who talk about how great their old single speed bikes from the DDR (east Germany)are and I think about getting one aswell. Working on the derailer and things are a pain, now I’m thinking of converting one of my bikes to single speed aswell.

@@kousukesaki3965 no idea, I sold this bike years ago. You can buy them in single speed conversion kits.

@@susssnasssekee219 no, it’s still a freewheel hub so can coast.

That is a cassette though not a freewheel. So the racheting mech is inside the hub he is only changing the sprockets.

If you want a higher gear so your legs arent spinning like crazy at high speeds you want a higher tooth chainring (larger diameter) at the crankset and a smaller cog at the rear.

It IS a freewheel cog. It's installed on the old freewheel hub.

You can use a chain tensioner like this www.wiggle.com/au/p/dmr-simple-tension-seeker-and-single-speed-kit?gad=1&gclsrc=ds

It is the standard grey, which looks awesome. 👍

Thanks legend! I would say climbing is ok, the seat angle isn't super steep and the chainstays are super short so you've gotta be a bit more aggressive to keep the front wheel down on the really steep stuff. Descending is phenomenal, incredible fun, playful and fast. Handles the rough stuff really well and is a blast on groomed jump lines. I am stoked on the build up, the only thing I am not sold on are the TRP brakes which feel like they should have more power for twin pots.

@@kendallmonk thank you for your reply Kendall really helpful, The bike looks amazing I have been also considering the 4130 for it being within my budget. even though my terrain isn’t as steep as this bike was built for, got mainly bikeparks and mini DH built trail runs My rides aren’t more than 3 hours long , just like wrecking through stuff and getting loose 😅 that’s why i like the idea of the Switchback. I just read that the bike is a bit boring on blue trails and flow , needs really steep drop to shine

@@thescandiflick no worries at all. I’m not sure the average rider would be able to tell the difference between the 4130 and Reynolds, certainly not riding it. This is a fun bike wherever you ride it. If you get bored on flow trails with this things there is something wrong with you, not the bike. I’m the same, my rides are generally short although I’ve done a couple of 4-5 hour rides without issue.

I bought the 4130 sherpa because it is the sweet spot fir price/quality. 538 may resell a bit better because of the brand “reynolds”. But don’t forget, both frames have the same reynolds rear triangle. So they are half identical 😉

Thanks Norman!

I had a Sunrace 11-46t cassette but it didn't work with my existing XT derailleur so I had to swap back to my 11-42. The bike is now setup with the 11-46 and a new SLX derailleur.

This is the 4130 Cromo built in Taiwan. Cannot fault the quality, which is not surprising considering how good the Taiwanese are at building bikes.

@@kendallmonk...Thanks Kendall for replying to my above questions. Yes the 4130 looks super, I agree Taiwan produces some quality, for sure. As you know Stanton has a UK build price, also a Taiwan Build price. 11:14 that picture is quality...appeals to myself. I had to watch it again. Thanks on the sizing, I'll take that on board when ordering. Rubber Side Down. Cheers.

I went for the 18" Long and I am 6ft. I was thinking about going smaller but was recommended the larger size and I'm extremely happy I did. The bike feels very nimble and the standover height is awesome.

@@kendallmonk awesome thanks for the info!

@@kendallmonk...Hi, I'm 6 1in...did Stanton help with your sizing? I thought for a minute you were going with Microshift 10 speed when I seen your "First cassette". How are the welds on this Beautiful looking Bike? Are you really happy with quality from Stanton? I ask as I too will be looking into a Stanton Bike Build down the Track! Cheers.

@@norman-gregory I'm 6ft. I'd be going the 18" long for sure. Build quality is top notch.

It's the Granite Design Stash multi tool. Like the one-up components one but no need to tap your steerer. granite-design.com/products/stash-multitool

Cheers David

Thanks!

Thank you Tatyana 🙏 much appreciated.

Thanks Jay ✌️

Because he wasn’t by himself. I was up there with him.

That’s cool man... you can be negative if you want. The video was never intended as a tutorial, more an opportunity for the Artist to explain his process.

It’s amazing isn’t it! I am not the artist, just the film maker who had the opportunity to document RONE’s process.

What’s a chain whip? 😜

That would look sick! I’m super happy with the red forks. It now has red pedals to match 👌

Whats the Color of your Frame called? Is it one of the standard colors?

Yeah it’s a standard colour - Shadow Grey. I’m sure the elite colours are amazing but the depth of the shadow is pretty damn good IMO.

No worries Andrew, stoked you like it ✌️

Thanks legend. No idea what it weighs...it’s a burly steel bike with parts chosen for strength and value rather than weight. It’s no featherweight but it feels both light and nimble to ride while being super solid through the rough stuff.

Well spotted! The old XT derailleur I had did not work with the 11-46 cassette so I had to switch back to my old 11-42. I've since upgraded to a new 11spd SLX derailleur with the 11-46 and it's working perfectly.

@@kendallmonk Cool! I have an SLX M7000 11s rd on my 11-46 10s Sunrace cassette!

@@ambalee that is my exact combo, works perfectly.

Thanks Rome!

Thanks dude.
