Located in Portland, Maine.
Couldn’t you just rebuild it with a smaller wheel like 20" or 12" and keep the 36" ungeared?
G12"? Wouldn’t be very effective, geared or not. And a G20" would be similar to a 29", right? Maybe instead rebuild with 24" or 26".
Sure, 12" might be a touch too small, but as we all know, the superior rider prefers a smaller wheel with shorter cranks. As such G16 with 75mm cranks or shorter is surely the best option for those seeking high speeds.
What about a G48 with 45mm cranks?
That would be quite hard to procure as most 45 mm cranks are square taper while all but the earliest Schlumpf models are isis
Sure, but Jakob can drill and cut cranks to any length
Anyway, we should probably stop flooding this topic. I hope this great uni will be sold to someone who will ride it. G36er are so much fun
This is a very tempting offer! I have the same hub + brake rotors, extra buttons and syringes sitting in the unopened box that was shipped to me a couple years ago. I’m not up for building a G36er and I don’t know anyone nearby who I can hire to do it for me. If someone made me a decent offer on my brand new hub and components, I would probably purchase your G36er. I don’t ride with handlebars, so I’d need to have the brake reconfigured to go under the seat, but I reckon that’s not a big deal. Where do you live? If I don’t have to drive too far to pick it up, I will have to give it serious consideration.
Oooh…I’m very tempted. I just recently built up my G29 (well, mostly - I still need my P-Frame (ahem @jaco_flans ) and a few other parts to make it my dream ride).
But I still miss my G36. The speed on flats and downhill was thrilling and I loved the high up, king-like feel to it as I looked down on peasant bikers
What is your selling location?
Is there even enough space within the rim to put the hub in a 12"?
…Which also means it could gear the 12" up to a 36" equivalent
It’s one of those cases where this quote comes into play
Are you willing to ship to Poland? I’ve been thinking of getting a geared hub for my 36er, might as well get a fully build beast like yours. I love it!
I’m interested in this deal - I’ll take your hub ( should be easier to ship overseas than a whole uni). How about $2k plus shipping?
@Kuba It looks like @Hugh_Sharp hasn’t posted again to this thread. Maybe he had a change of heart or was able to sell his geared 36er locally. If, on the other hand, his guni is still for sale and he is willing to sell it to me, then I would accept your offer for my hub and components.
It’s still available. Sounds like a good idea. Where are you located?
@Hugh_Sharp Sounds good! I’m in NYC. I’d be willing to make a road trip if you’re anywhere that’s not very far away. Did you build the wheel yourself? Where are you located?
Awesome! I’ll have to figure out the shipping and tax situation to avoid crazy additional costs. I’ll DM you shortly.
Nice! I’m in the Portland, Maine area. 5-7 hour drive. Easy to ship. I ordered the parts individually. The wheel was built at a local bike shop. Figuring out the right disk brake and shifting took some work! I learned to ride in NYC!
Just saw your DM and replied.
