On One Dee Dar - 26" wheels. Madness, they'll never catch on.

[i]Dee Dar[/i]

The noise a 1970's UK Police Car makes, I assume?

"He'll not sell many ice creams going at that speed."

Found a container load of forks and wheels in a forgotten corner of the warehouse. Bought some frames so they can shift them.......

Well, one frame anyway.

It's the trail bike we built because we wanted it for ourselves.

And after it arrived we realised it was a pos so are flogging it...

I do wonder how many carbon 456evo's they have left to sell. Awesome looking frames, just at the wrong time.

Surely that'd be something they'd be better liquidating sooner rather than later unless they really do believe 26" will come back around and place no monetary value on warehousing.

If they were anything like the regular C456 there's loads of clearance to run 650b in there anyway

I know, it's almost like they don't actually want to sell stuff................ or the place is staffed by idiots. I can't quite decide.

Dee Dar is the nickname for Sheffield people .

Strictly it refers to accent more than origin, but I do prefer the police car explanation. I'm sitting in Sheffield (like half of STW it feels, some days) and a childish glee of police car noise was the first thing that hit me when I saw the name...

Sounds grand. I wonder if they're going to give all their other trailbikes the tagline "A trailbike we don't want for ourselves"

Really don't like that seattube bridge thing but the rest looks decent

I quite like it when they offload an unwanted prototype.
Looks OK, plenty of superfluous features on a slighty longer 16" 456: stealth dropper routing, 142x12 rear end, would anyone pay £800 for it though?
X5 build 45650b is £50 more at present and has slighty more fashionable wheels... I'm sure someone will have it when it inevitably drops to £550 in a few weeks/day/minutes...

Who ever said 26" was dead"

So where are all the new 26" on ones then?

Me too. I still have that Titanium Pompino. 🙂

There's nothing wrong with 26" if there's room to fit slightly fatter tyres.

Surly Dirt Wizards make a huge difference to a 26" bike - I reckon the extra plush of the extra volume puts it slightly better than a standard 29er, ie rolls better and more compliance absorbs trail lumpy bits better.

Ftfy

Baa

Potentially dangerous. Any 650b owners who have gotten use to talent compensating of the bigger wheels will struggle back on 26 😀

Where's these bargain 456 carbons??

Paul, nice catch that's a steal...

My bad on the 26" reference; 200 clearance bikes to photograph and write content for in 5 days and get on the website, I'm sure there's a couple more errors in there if you look closely enough. There's certainly a load of bargains in there.

The Dee Dar will be back very soon, as a full production bike.

Don't forget to pump up those forks and turn and tighten the bars before you ride it Paul 😉

Simon.

I really like it and specially the surprise of the wheel size.

I am awaiting a shock pump and some pedals atm so should be up and running in a weeks time. I live 2 miles from the new flyup 417 project that has just opened recently and cant wait to test it there

Will there be any spare on one dee dar stickers floating around when in production. Be nice to have some

I quite like that.

Complete lack of any frame geometry etc info as usual so we just have to imagine what 'slack' means but hey ho.

Judging from the 650b Parkwood their idea of long/slack is very different to what many of us would consider.

Did you not scroll down, geo is right there (though obviously being PX the chart data doesn't match the geo image).

66.5 head angle.
439mm reach on the Large.

So not very long, though with a 140mm fork sag will increase the reach a little.

So it comes in 16", 17" and 19"... or S, M, L... or 48, 50, 52cm... or 40, 44, 48cm sizes and the 406 seat tube frame is a whopping 4mm longer and all frames are 0.2 degree slacker than the 45650

Don't OO sell frames with geo the same as that and call it manufacturing tolerances?

Is it just me or is that a straight steerer tube? Where do you get the forks these days?

It [i]is[/i] straight, but looks like 44mm, which is pretty normal on frames of that type and will take any steerer available with the right headset cups.

It will probably be a 44 mm straight head tube. Quite a versatile and neat solution:
- you can run a straight 1 1/8th with internal bearings top and bottom
- you can run a straight 1.5 with external cups top and bottom
- I'll let you guess how you achieve a set up for a tapered fork

yeah, what he said. Slow typing fingers......

So is the head angle 65.5 or 66.5. States both on the website.

That's well within normal tolerance range for On One.

£299.99? Needs to be carbon for that price, roll on October, PX/OO variable pricing policy will no doubt kick in... Plus first batch? Nah...

I've hung on to my (2nd hand) summer season for a fair old while now, I can hold on for a bit longer thanks...
