Tight corners are fine*
* I don't really ride anywhere with tight corners. Peaks, Cannock, Ambergate and Bestwood are my locals.
I've been on a geometron for a couple of years. There have only been a couple of corners where the length of a bike was a problem. 800mm wide bars are the limiting factor for me.
That is a long down tube. Maybe they could be called the OnOne supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, the sticker would fit😀
On One 48hr
Because as the teachers were explaining today, after you’ve been sick it’s 48 hours later when you return.
So @brant .... Lots of name suggestions. But when is it due to land? Price? Build options etc?
On-One Phoenix.
(Or Pheonsick)
Serious question, when it’s that long and slack, will the forks want to snap at the crown on a big drop to flat.
will the forks want to snap at the crown on a big drop to flat.
I'm sure an engineer will be along in a moment tell you that an extra 5* slacker won't up the forces too much. However in principle you are right - fork crown and head tube welds under more pressure.
I'm more concerned about it being at the extreme end of some handling traits and the fact that it looks like a clown bike...
But when is it due to land?
Head, top and down tubes arriving Monday. Seat tube, seat and chain stays on Thursday
I Wasn't sure on the looks at first, but weirdly it's starting to grow on me. I'd assume that forks are overengineered enough to take the stresses (and the frame should be built with that in mind right?).
I don't need a new bike, but...
MERRILLLLL!
Hello Dave seems like better value...£9.83 per inch vs £10 per inch for a Tick tick...
Hello Dave?
Anyone else feel like they really missed a trick 🙁
Hello Dave?...You're my bike now.
On One Dumb
On One Dumber?
In reference to the previous owners..

Given the desire for ever more capable, longer & lighter single crown forks, I'd say not.
I run a 170mm single crown Fox 36 on a fairly big 29er enduro race bike, which although slack, isn't silly at 64 degrees. I've been through 3 CSU's in 11 months on that bike due to constant creaking & cracking.
Another set of 150mm versions of the same fork on another bike, less slack & it took 6 months but they have now started creaking too. It seems to have become more of an issue for me in recent times. I know I'm not alone, most of my friends have similar issues with most brands of forks. I get we might not the average trail centre warriors, as we race to a reasonable standard, but even so, reliability is not a strong point it would seem.
But is that a factor of the slack head angle moving the forces elsewhere or bikes just getting faster and hitting stuff harder?
Combination of the two I would think. Along with (relatively) light, big travel forks. Its a hell of a lot of leverage on a small area. Even more so if you do something silly like come up short or overshoot a jump.
Its is really just me thinking that they should have been called
On One Gnar
On One 'Poon.....
Or have I been beaten to that one?
@hobnob Is that on the RAAW madonna with the big boobies?
The longer one is yes, the shorter one is on an SB130.
I might get one for the gipper
What sort of gloss green?
Slightly sad ‘Ralph’ and ‘Huey’ didn’t make the cut, but ‘Hello Dave’ is funny!
Hello Dave should be black with white logos.
Those names are a bit shite or am I missing some reference?

You're my wife bike now
Tick Tick is one of Papa Lazarou's circus Dwarves. The other one that is named is called Pebble.
Better to ask then assume, but I’m sure I can guess the answer, boost?
You’re my wife bike now
I get the reference.
I can't see how it applies in this case.
(if you have to explain the joke...)
Those names are a bit shite or am I missing some reference?
Pfft, you sound like one of those "butt hurt posters on Same Ten ****ers*"
*copyright On One social media team
Want one, purely for the names if nothing else lol. Just built a DeeDar up though so its gonna have to wait.
I can’t see how it applies in this case.
Because they were previously someone else's bike?
Oh.
Except they weren't really were they? Not until the frame builder got paid at any rate.
Bit tenuous.
Oh I love league of gentlemen and find the names on point !! Must buy one now 🙂

Person: knock knock
Squirrel king: whos there
Person: doctor
Squirrel king: I think you'll find its illegal to impersonate a doctor, I'm calling the fun police
Dave: you're my wife now
That's... long. Tempted to get one just to see what it's like.
Some wierd numbers there, steeper SA and longer chainstays on the 29er.
27.5er has more BB drop, although neither is really that low.
Reach is less bonkers than I was expecting, the medium 29er is the same as a large Bird 29er hardtail.
Apparently the 27.5er will take a 2.8 rear tyre, but the 29er is unlikely to take a 650b+. Tempted by the 650b now, hmmmmmm.
Some cracking stuff on this pinkbike thread https://www.pinkbike.com/forum/listcomments/?threadid=211801&pagenum=127
A story posted yesterday by a new member from Margate:
The story of two little pigs – a modern day bike fable.
Once upon a time there was a far-away place called Bikeland.
In Bikeland there was many evil barons who over charged the normal folk far too much money for bikes and bike products and they grew richer and fatter by the day.
So, one day two little piggy’s with very little business acumen but a lot of tattoos decided they would make a bicycle company and right all the wrongs being done by the evil rulers.
The piggy’s went into the town square and shouted loudly to anyone that would listen about how they would make the best bicycles in the world and that they would change the towns folks lives by being honest and true, and not like the evil barons and chieftains.
The powerful rulers of Bikeland did not like at all, so they decided to destroy the two-little pigs.
They summoned up a powerful wizard to destroy the pigs. The Wizard put a spell on the pigs and let them believe that the wizard was their friend and would offer the pigs sound business advice and introduce them to a blacksmith who would make the piggy’s bikes.
The piggy’s clapped their little trotters with glee as now someone was taking them seriously and they would finally have a way to make their bikes, but by now the pigs had started to grow fat themselves by feasting on their own hyperbole porridge and suckling on their own half-truths.
The piggy’s placed an order with the blacksmith without any need for a deposit as the Wizard had given his word to the blacksmith that the pigs were very honest! And thus, the pigs started selling their bikes to the towns folk before they were finished or shipped.
But the wizard’s plan was to never let the piggy’s get their greedy little trotters on those bikes, so the piggy’s waited and waited and waited, and whilst the piggy’s waited and waited for the bikes to arrive the town’s folk grew angrier.
Finally, the towns folk who had paid their hard-earned gold coins, grew angrier and angrier until eventually, they formed an angry mob and blew the piggy’s house down and ate the two-fat little piggy’s all up.
Meanwhile the Wizard acted as a broker and the blacksmith sold them to a Baron for a very cheap price, who in turn sold them a second time to the towns folk and made an even greater profit than the poor stupid little pigs could ever have imagined.
The end.
Funnily enough people think this may have been posted by Jordan. Such distrust...
Infact if you put a 650bx2.8 tyre in there the xl is a gnats chuff off a large zero29 with a 29x2.3/2.4
Brant, Im guessing the tiktik is closer to a trail bike whereas the Hello Dave looks more like a DH hardtail with those chainstays?
Who gets to be the wolf?
Wulf surely?
Hello Dave is going to be Matt Black now 🙂

Yeah.
Hello Dave is going to be Matt Black now
With a gold chain and rings presumably?
I flipping love being accused of being a wizard. Wish I was that smart. Lol.
Pictures or it never happened.....need a pic of brant in a wizards hat and white beard
Mixed metaphor.
Angles slacker than a wizards sleeve.
Would a normal 29x2.4 tyre fit in the back of the 650b? Much as I like the bonkersness of the 29er i think an xl 650b looks more useable round here.

Just confirming that. Certainly think so.
So could you potentially run the 650b as a mullet bike as the angles not as crazy as Hello Dave with 140mm 29er fork?

Sure. I reckon it’ll go to 3.0 and maybe 2.4 29er. But need cad checking.
So, have I missed something or are these not yet live?
That 'two little pigs' story is just plain weird though, especially if that's actually Jordan and actually how he feels the story of Sick! went...
I don’t think it’s Jordan. Just a Jorfan.
And even Jordan isn’t a Jorfan right now from what I’ve seen.
It was fascinating the way the media embraced them.
We (Planet X Ltd) are following proper process and placing purchase order with my mate Calvin for the frames. Then Weil have on order/preorder with the obligations that entails in law and we have followed for the last 25yrs or so.
It's it true that the frames are 148 but will take 142?

I think I read that on the sick site about their other frames.
I’m sure they would if you forced things but flexing dropouts even only 3mm a side usually means issues with sliding axles through easily.
Not recommended.
So, have I missed something or are these not yet live?
Now live

Hello Dave, will you come with the singlespeed dropouts?
"Now live
https://www.planetx.co.uk/s?q=TikTi k"
Hello Dave is down as available in med, large, XL but the size chart is for small, med, large. They look sick!
Hello Dave, will you come with the singlespeed dropouts?
No
Hello Dave will be sold out in next hour or less.
On One are pleased to finally bring to the market the two most extreme chromoly hardtails ever made. And we dont say that lightly. Hand welded for us in Taiwan and overseen by one of our oldest suppliers, these are unequalled frames for the rider that wants the ultimate hardtail.
mmm. That's not strictly true is it?
"Hello Dave will be sold out in next hour or less."
Just a shame that Sick weren't able to deliver - there was clearly a strong demand for frames of this type at the price o-o are selling them for.

I don't think Sick were "selling" these at On-One prices, they were closer to £500/600 I think
gone for a TiKTik, but will run it as a 29er
Hello Dave out of stock
which low stack headset for it???
@Brant: I'd love to see Singlespeed Dropouts. If there are enough requests - would you think about it?
Could anybody tell me already which kind of headset I will need for the Hello Dave?
Missed out, bloomin work ☹️
Looks like they're available again. I think they got marked as out of stock whilst they corrected the sizing issue.
What's the warranty on these please? And will they be stealth or big white on one decals everywhere?
I was hoping for a massive OTT "Gnarpoon" set of logo's that are lacquered over so you can't hide them easily. Ideally in luminous green
Hello Dave still available
No sizes for the Hello Dave listed, just generically available, assume its an error?
Edit- now dissapeared completely
I think they've put it back on hold whilst they unwind the sizing issue they have - they've emailed me to clarify.
It’s sold out.
We’ve just ordered some more.
I’m off to bed as it’s 11pm and I’ve got to catch a bullet train to a helmet factory at 6am.
We’ve just ordered some more
Good news 👍
Maybe it’s Tim and Jordan buying up all the frames to rebrand as Sick and sell at the original prices 😂

Bah! Edit fail.
Did they ever sell any to any real customers, was the point I was trying to pithily make with clever strikethroughs etc ...

Someone was selling this on FB recently, a Sick Shrike apparently
Can any of you gurus provide some advice as I've ordered the Hello Dave and was looking to pair it up with the lyrik ultimate 150mm 51 offset. Would this be a suitable fork or are there any better suggestions?
On one reccomend a 140 / 150 fork...
Cheers!!
