Raw-nsterCross Does A Single Speed
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 січ 2018
- I finally got around to picking a bike to put that single speed tensioner that BangGood sent me. Not without messing around with snow on the ground a bunch and starting to clean up Brent's bike first. Also, Norton and I close a big business deal near the end.

I love the edits and the music. Turns our 2018 was pretty awesome.
About the moment you realized what part was missing I realized: okay, legit. Thanks for the integrity.
absolutely in love with your videos!!
Thanks!
finally! been waiting for that to happen! single speeds are so fun.
It’s pretty fun, but am super interested in finding a gear that erases the need for the tensioner!
i'm kind of jealous of your city clearing the bike pathes.
where i live, when the city clears the streets of snow, they even dump it on the bike lanes....as well as home owners, when they clear the sidewalk infront of their houses of snow. cycling in the winter - at least when it's snowing - sucks ass here.
greetings from germany btw :-)
love your vids
its usually pretty garbage snow removal here as well! somehow the city got lucky with the lack of snow fall haha. Wait until march here and you'll see its pretty similar to the conditions you are riding in there!
I want to go to Germany real bad!
Thanks!
Hi. I'm huge fan of simplicity and, all of my bikes era single-speed (two mtb, one SS/fixie - road). My question is: You recommend oval chainring for single-speed?
Congrats on 4k subs! Here's to many more fruitful Banggood collabs lol
Thanks! Haha I’m very much enjoying rolling in all the fruits on my labour while reviewing their products!
ordered the same thing a while ago and I never got it to work as there's no way to mount it without any bolt.
I love the way he says part
We were so concerned whether or not we COULD we never stopped to think if we SHOULD.
Love the mug.
soon they will be available!
How much would it be for a good set of wheels from you but one of them from you and then you ship them to me and I'll be able to put them on my bike when I get it and I'm getting it taxes
how many miles is the ride home?
Just bought the same tensioner for my ss mtb.
I can't hold onto those t handles either! Their too heavy at the handle end I guess.
Its supposed to sit on the axle behind the frame and tensions the chain that way
Cool vid as usual. I personally enjoy the hassle of figuring out the perfect chain length in order to avoid using a tensioner. I got too much time on my hands hahaha. ☮️ from NYC.
I actually plan on doing the exact same thing now, this tensioner is bleh, not having one would be so cool.
RT posted up a link to a page that calculates ratios and chain lengths that will create the proper chain length. I think a 15t and one less link will yield a non tensioner needed gear.
How many teeth on that chainring you use? And also what bcd?
I would love that mug!
I’ll start the campaign soon after the next few uploads! Looks like there is some interest!
Would the Raleigh Willard 2 be able to go down some stairs, cuz I'm going to get that bike but I want to make sure that it can go downstairs and handle things of that nature, plus I weigh 300 pounds I know that's a lot but I was 360 and I do a lot of rollerblading like I've skated over thousand miles in a couple months that's what help me lose my 60lb but I really want to get into bike riding too and I really like the Raleigh Willard 2 it looks like an awesome bike and it's a gravel bike
You can definitely ride that bike down stairs, but your weight might be a little bit hard on it. My biggest concern would be wheels. If you can budget for getting something built wheel wise that will be tougher, you’ll be all set!
Who's the musician that made the cover of Little Boxes? Can't find it.
Birocratic!
Have you ever made up some studded tyres? I have a buddy in Minneapolis who has a Christini 2wheel drive full suspension bike( very trick)He made studded tyres with sheet metal screws. He rides trail all winter when snow isnt too wet.
I haven’t done it yet, but my friend Zac has and put on some ice races when our winters were cold enough to freeze the lakes! Looks like a laugh of a time!
Tensioner is designed to fit behind a bolted wheel so bit you thought was missing peices sits behind the axle on a bolted wheel
So like a claw deraileur? Slides in behind the axel, you slide axel in and screw down?
Tested much wider, less pressure tires on that snow?
its much more comfortable
weren't there any instructions with the chain tensioner?
Not with parts this cheap
So how much snow is too much snow for you to ride to the shop?
Hmmmmm, if the boss decides to open the shop; I'll ride in. No matter the amount of snow.
The best part of riding in is if it gets too bad, I just pick the bike up and walk haha. Cars get stuck, bikes can be carried!
Anyone know what those spacers are called where the cassette was? The R18 and L16
I'd search for a "single speed kit" DMR used to make one. They cost a fair bit though. It's cheaper to stack old cassette spacers and line up the chain straight from one cog to the next.
Getting single spacers can be a hassle too though.
There are cheap ones available on amazon
Triple 777 the mug👍🏻
I may have missed this but how many teeth are on the cog and chainring?
You missed nothing! I edited that out for some reason. 36:17!
Spindatt Thanks pal!
I particularly like the ProleteR music, must be an age thing I guess... also like the Spindatt signature mug (wouldn't mind one), the other design not so much.
I love everything ProleteR has put out! its too bad such a fair amount of t samples stuff i probably count use. The mug is two sided! it has the logo and the "Ride Reasonably Priced Bikes" on the other side (to make fun of the "life's too short to ride shit bikes" saying). But thats why I'm asking you guys what ya's think!
Hi dude! It's such a refreshing change to see someone in the cycling industry publicly denounce the requirement of expensive kit and high end bikes! I mean yeah they'd be nice to have... but for the average rider a top end bike isn't going to really ride much differently to an entry level bike! Keep it real
Totally! I guess I just want new bike riders to know that the equipment comes second. Riding the bike/enjoying it is first. It's too bad it'll never be desirable for companies to want to support or sponsor a video haha
(i still want baller gear to a certain degree though haha)
Spindatt yeah! Who doesnt want Gucci bike gear! What really 'grinds my gears' is bike snobbery with guys with all the gear telling people they need This or don't buy that because the quality is crap.
I work in a big bike retailer in the UK and alot of my customers come in quoting this and I tell them that the tool has to match the job, if you're a casual cyclist, or a hobbyist you don't need a race spec bike, and actually it's not going to do what you need it to.
Just get out and ride on what you've got, enjoy it and get what you need when you need it!
You just dont ‘need’ all that high tech overpriced stuff. Buy simple, quality and locally produced hardware. I have 6 bikes I ride ,2 are custom built frames. All are built part by part, specced by me. None are newer than 12 years old. My fixed gear monster Miyata is my go to bike I use the most. The frame was free! Its simple, fun and one hell of a workout! Too much fun to be legal!!
Keep posting the upgrades please! Good luck!
it'll always get camera love when it gets worked on!
Sorry,the front chainring is narrowhead? Cool!
Yep, 3/32 single speed setup!
Yo, just use a tensioner with 2 pulleys design: the first one wraps a chain around a cog to prevent chain slipping, the latter one - tensions a chain. Works flawlessly on my mtb, no chain slipping on a cog whatsoever. My gear ratio 32:16. Cheap stamped ss cassette cog, generic chinese narrow wide chainring.
That sounds like a derailleur to me! Haha
I’d try all sorts of different setups, but am super interested in trying to find a gear that gives decent tension without the use of a tensioner at all. Ultimate RT posted up a link to a website that helps calculate some options, so I’m definitely going to be tinkering away with that!
Yeah, this may work as well. But with 2 pulley design you don't have to worry about shortening/lengthening your chain if you want to play with different cog teeth numbers. I agree - it looks almost like a derailleur, but then again - why not using horizontal dropouts? Magic gear may not work properly entire chain life due to chain stretch. Anyway, good luck.
Where to buy bike wash?????
NOW APPEARING AT A BIKE SHOP NEAR YOU.Also MEC and Canadian Tire.
online
How much for the cup?
They'd end up being $14.99.
Sort out your sales platform, Ebay, Amazon, Paypal direct to you, etc.. I'd buy one... Cash in an envelope on the ferry, I'd pass :D Maybe it's time for you to set up a Merchandising page, or add it to the Ideal Bikes website?
For the mugs I’ll probably just do them on Teespring for simplicity.
Later on though, when the time is right, I’ll have to set up some sort of online shop for the next thing I hope to sell.
Note: 13:32 We're gonna talk about it.
i'll be waiting for you
awwwwwwww yyyyyeeeeeaaaaahhhhh
Sometimes your comments go to the spam folder here and I don’t understand why haha
Guilty pleasure; fixed with road tires, deserted parking lot in the snow.
Haha that’s what I was doing yesterday
Thumbs up for Norton, not the chain tensioner.
Lol, he redeems all videos
1. Riding in snow looks fun.
2. Why does anyone ride singlespeed, I mean what is the advantage over a simple 1x9 for example? Why not a 2x1?
3. Norton!!!!!
The fluffy stuff is the most fun!
I'm not really sure, maybe purely for ridiculousness. I'd try a 2x1 though!
We made the business deal of the century with one hand shake!
I would love to try a 2x1!
Ah, the dreadful chain tensioner, best to just try and find a "unicorn gear". At least it didn't skip on you and the snow made it silent, I'd try to shorten the chain even more if possible and get a shimano dx sprocket, makes life more pleasant.
i ended up having to add a link. it would be cool to find that gearing that allows for no tensioner! that would be rad.
Try this link eehouse.org/fixin/formfmu.php
it estimated about 1.5-2mm off for me with the loosest recommended combo, so my tension is a little on the slack side after riding with a half link chain for 2 weeks, but the shimano dx sprocket keeps the chain on perfectly well even when fooling around on single track. Also you might have multiple gear combinations that you can run with a single chainring, I have 2 for 39t and 3 for 34t.
That chart is sweet! looks like if i throw a 15t on there i could ditch the tensioner...
I can't help but wonder if there are any smaller 110bcd chainrings i could get for this bike.
The smallest I've heard of is 33t, haven't ever seen one in the wild or even in the stores.
Its hard enough to walk up that hill
Riding it in the summer is pretty fun!
ok. bring back the neistat music
What! I go out of my way to try and find something else and you want me to go back! frig! Haha
first
Is this a sign that my channel is starting to grow enough that first comment is a goal? I’m cool with that.
I’ll need to do something with this..
Your videos are getting better keep it up!!
We were so concerned whether or not we COULD we never stopped to think if we SHOULD.
