I took advantage of a day off on Monday to ride my Guni 26" offroad for a big part of the day in the Alps mountains around Grenoble (France).
Here are more pictures for those of you who are interested:
(it starts with the picture #14 - previous ones in the snow being from last month)
It was a really great ride, on a sunny day, with perhaps only 10 people to meet along the little less than 30 kilometers of offroad paths!
I didn’t use the upper gear at all (excepted for 6kms on the road, to reach from my car the start of the offroad itinerary) - but really found my setup (26", 150mm cranks, low psi pressure) quite ideal for this type of ride.
But anyway, I’m giving too many details already about it… after all, this thread is about pictures, right?
Why did you choose to use the KH T-bar as a mount for your brake level instead of the traditional underseat attachment? Does it stick out as far past the seat as it looks like?
I ride the road with 125/110’s but in the photo I am assessing 150’s for climbing gradients I can’t manage on 125. If it seems good I will buy 125/150. Someone posted a thread on pedals that ‘slotted’ into a fixture that was already screwed into the cranks. Wish I could find that again. Seemed like a good feature and just for the sake of a dismount, a lot cheaper, simpler - and realiable? - than a Shlumph hub. OK, I’m sorry I said that :o
Adapters to install a V-brake on Magura mounts are available but you can make your own cheaply: one way to put V-Brakes on Mag mounts (photos are later in the thread)
It’s a Tektro 857AL (arms are 110mm long). On my 26" there is slightly less clearance between the crosswire and tire than there is between the frame and the tire so I’d say a 3" tire would work but there wouldn’t be much mud clearance.
Thanks… actually they were originally on my bike and I’ve exchanged them to same design but metal. And then they came in temporarily onto the uni and stay there until now The grip is not that good so I’ll take my platforms when going Muni.
Thanks… I like it this way Probably more photos today.
All smiles on today’s 25 mile beach ride, after getting my thyroid test results this morning. Since stating on Levoxyl 6 weeks ago for hypothyroidism, my levels are back to normal!
