Middleburn Fatty Crank

Sideways Tim — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 14:22:25 +0000

Test fit in the Pugsley reveals:-

It’s lovely. With a single up front you could run it SS or 1×9 happily. There’s room to play about with spacers and adjust your chainline accordingly and you can fit a spider for triple or double duties. It’ll work brilliantly with an Alfine hub.

Taking orders now

It doesn’t come with a BB, so you can use any RaceFace, King, Shimano, Phil Wood or whatever other HTII’s there are out there.

Cost depends on ring/spider options, but figure around £250.

Middleburn Wide BB cranks…

These might be of interest if you’re building a fat bike and need a versatile 100mm BB option. Takes a spider so you can run it with one two or three rings, uses any standard HTII BB and is made in the UK!
What’s not to like?

Maverick!

Sideways Tim — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 10:14:20 +0000

Well, it’s finally out in the open, so I can now post something.

Maverick has been bought back by Paul Turner, (the guy who started it and invented Rockshox ). As yet, I have noida what his plans are, but my best guess would be licensing the designs to other manufacturers. What this means temporarily is that we can’t get hold of spares. We can still service forks and rear shocks and have some small parts, but how long that lasts I don’t know.

Word here when I get it, stay tuned!

Just like buses…

You build one, then another comes along. Similar to the Vaya below, here’s a Singular Peregrine, with 105, Avid brakes and super sturdy Hope/Halo wheelset.
Nice!

Here’s an odd one…

Sideways Tim — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 11:22:56 +0000

A long standing customer finally decided that he really should have two bikes for his commute, one workhorse and one special bike. Here’s the special one.
It’s a Salsa Vaya, with super sturdy wheels, 105 running gear, Ultegra flat bar shifters, Avid BB7 brakes and I reckon it looks superb. Hope he’s happy with it!
