Max Houtzager races pretty much anything in the dirt. From Downhill and XC to Super D and Single Speed. He's fast now and only getting faster. Keep your eyes out for him wearing either a [http://www.wholeathlete.com Whole Athlete] or a [http://www.rhsmtb.com/ Redwood High NorCal] team uniform

Some money was saved while constructing this bike. I'm sure that the frame would weigh over half a pound less if another $125 was spent on tubing. Most of this project was about geometry and ride quality rather than cutting edge low weight. If need be, another version can be built that is much lighter.

This is a highly custom singlespeed bike built for me. The goal was to try a slightly different fit geometry that would place slightly more weight on my front wheel than I usually do on my trail bikes.I also built this bike around a 100mm travel fork rather than the usual 140mm. The bike is also built to ride quite low for racing.

Tubes

Cheap tubes.

  • Down Tube - NOV_CODT_35_858 Nova 29er DT 35 x 8/5/8 x 750

Fork

PVD segmented integrated fork.

During most riding a RS Revelation 100mm fork will be used.

Stem

PVD Custom integrated stem.

TruVativ HammerSchmidt?

This bike was designed with clearance so that a TruVativ HammerSchmidt crank can be used. One issue is that that system to date uses a threaded bb. Since this bike is press fit, I will have to fabricate my own bb system to mount the crank.

Gearing

I want to try a 2x2 setup. This is a single speed setup that allows a gear change by moving the chain to an alternate gearing latterally.

An offroad gear of 34/19 (148.5") with 94 chain links has two options for road/traverse gear are 36/17 (175.7", shortest ctc) and 38/14 (225.3", longest ctc).
