I never used the chain hanger on my Quickbeam, since I had already hooked the
chain over the fork ends in order to remove the wheel.

Cool. I have the same hanger on my SO. It's nice having something to keep the
chain back where I can hook it easily with the rear axel. The monkey nuts look
neat I'm curious how they work out for you.

probably a better call.

Looks great. I think I see a chain catcher thing on the stay you left off the
inventory, nice touch that's very handy.
You might consider the mks track chain tensioner as an alternative to the
monkey nuts.

I have old suntour superbe track cranks (similar to the kind the IRD is
patterned on) on my Simple One with a 44t ring. Best I can measure the

Another stunner and you are not too far from me in location - I am in

Choices are endless and I can see why GP speaks of that as an issue.
I expect the white hubs are very nice. You will want to be sure you get the
flip/flop fixed/free version if you are going to use a fw (the link you
gave is for that kind). I expect you noticed that they don't take normal
fixed cogs like the ones from Soma, EAI, or Surly (including surly's

Good call on checking the BB ted and I may go to 170 on the crank for the
smidge of leverage gain.
I also found this slick new White Industries Track Hubset which would mate
well with the DOS ENO:

All sounds very nice.
Shorter cranks are traditional track gear. Where 175 may be normal for mtn
bikes and 170 normal for road bikes, 165 is sort of normal for a track bike.
With a single ring and normal single speed chain line you shouldn't have
any trouble with clearance between the ring and fr

I have a WI 17/19 on mine, and really like that option. Gives just enough

I agree with Minh that when you’re on a SS, it changes your perspective. I
just don’t mind walking if the need arises – just another pleasant way to get

Especially when you have a specific build in mind. Have fun!

I don't think so although it seems like a nice, reasonable set. The 2
speed hub is intriguing and I'd like to see if I can learn a thing or two
about wheelbuilding on this bike. A dynohub on the front would be neat.
If anyone has any experience with this hub or just thoughts, I'd love to

Perfect, glad it has a good new home! You going to get the wheelset they're
selling as well?
