You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
I'm after a 27.5+ hardtail with 135mm rear dropout spacing, ideally suitable for a 120/140mm fork.
Does such a thing exist?
Am looking to reuse an existing 135mm Rolhoff Speedhub.
Doesn't have to be a singlespeed specific frame, don't mind converting/adapting an off the peg bike.
A Stanton Slackline can be ordered to tick all the boxes but sadly the Fun Controller has informed me that the budget won't stretch that far.
Cotic Solaris mk2 is 135mm QR and best with 120mm fork, takes 2.8in tyres.
Probably selling a large soon as I'm getting the newest version.
Last Fastforward, possibly a bit agro.
I'm not sure what fork you can run in it but I have the Ramin 3+. One of the reasons I went for it is that I also have a Rohloff and it has 135mm spacing and an EBB. I'm not sure I ever will get around to putting the Rohloff on it, what I'd really like is another one so I could have both options 🙂
Singular swift? 120 rather than 140 mind
If you can find one, an old Genesis High Latitude SS/Alfine frame would work.
My Singular Buzzard frame that I have for sale has clearance of 3" tyres on 35mm ID rims
I've been running it with a 130mm Yari and it's heaps of fun
Its a 19" FWIW (relatively short too tube for its size)
New gen Sherpa also came in 135mm or 142 flavour (mine is 142).
depending on your hub, conversion to 142 is just different spacers (i.e. Hope) and would cheaper than new dropouts.
pick one up 2ndhand perhaps... 😉
Kona Unit
Probably looking to sell on my beloved Cotic Simple 29er medium frame. Wonderful fun frame. Fits 2.8 Trailblazers with plenty of space. Can’t justify having it as I’ve just bought a new Karate Monkey frame.
Hi I have an on-one Parkwood for sale its 135mm rear QR and running as a 29 er but they sold these as 27.5+ too so it will take that wheel size.
Its fitted with a 130mm 29er pike that would also run a 27.5+ tyre and a reverb post. Im looking for about £450 for it
Thats a complete bike BTW
Charge frames went plus but stayed quick release.
Genesis longitude. 27.5+, 135mm back end specifically designed to allow you to run whatever hub. I think it has rolhoff. If you can get a 2016 frame it also has a tapered head tube (unlike the later ones). 100mm fork though.
Thanks for the replies everyone, lots more options out there that I initially thought.
You could buy about six frames from this thread alone!
