It has been a while since I built a single-speed mountain bike, and I don't believe I have ever built a modern full rigid. So today, we're taking it to the extreme while also putting a unloved Salsa Timberjack frame back on the trail!

With regards to crank arm lengths, I am 6'2" and run crazy long 180mm XT cranks on my single speed. I have run 32x18 and 32x20 on 29's all over Appalachia in the SE. Sure, you need to hike a bike on occasion, but its mostly doable. Never had issues with my knees and I'm 200lbs. I also feel like the longer cranks help you ratchet and apply even power in tricky technical climbs. My longest ride was 37 miles and nearly 6800 feet of climbing in north Georgia.

As a full rigid mtb SS owner, I endorse the brutal aspect of this style of riding. However, it is nice to go back to the basics on occasion, the simplicity is refreshing. Seth is spot on, ride as many different bikes and trails as possible and you will gain a lot more skills. I have another SS, that has 160mm front and back, which I have ridden down the Downieville course a few times, and always get a bunch of comments on.
@Driver8takeabreak
@Driver8takeabreak 5 месяцев назад
I've been riding rigid SS for 15 years (and the last 7 years it's been my only MTB). It can be frustrating at points, but it's so, so simple. They say single speeds have three gears: seated, standing, and walking.

I stopped rigid after got launched into a mountain wall and handle bars did a 180 and some old guys started making fun of me lol(saw one of them crash earlier even worse on full suspensions so they were being hypocrites) Irony is my full suspension was delivered to my house right before I started that ride

When I was younger and my knees had all their cartilage I had a rigid Surly 1x1. I remember on back to back days riding the same fairly rocky trail with the Surly and with a super plush Santa Cruz Bullit that I used for downhill. Talk about the same trail having a totally different feel. One day you have the suspension soaking up the biggest of bumps, the next pinging around like I was in a pinball machine.

I now have 8 different bikes and my Speshy Crave full rigid SS is still my favourite. Did a very muddy 12 hour endurance xc on it and even though I was not the fastest at any stage after 9 hours there were only a dozen people still circulating almost every single geared bike had failed after 10 hours (I think the guy that won swapped bikes a couple of times). Anyway, there were only a handful of finishers and I came third after another SS ... There's just nothing to go wrong.

@arlanhowe91 5 месяцев назад
Always love seeing single speed stuff and especially happy to see a rigid bike. My rigid single speed is my go-to for almost everything. One thing I learned from my rigid bike is people always talk about how important line choice is and I found that a lot of times the best line is as straight as possible. Up and over the big obstacle. Don't try going around. Now when I ride suspension bikes I find that same technique makes you faster most of the time. Something I like about single speeds is a lot of times. People think you're never in the right gear, but I find more often than not. I'm never quite in the wrong gear... Of course that's once you get it set up correctly.

Nice! I did the same thing to a Timberjack a few years ago. Got a frame/fork/headset for $100 and built it up entirely with old parts lying around the shop. I used bb7 brakes and those old Shimano XTR brake/shifter combo levers. I kept it mid-2000's BMX with a thick slick rear tire and knobby on the front. Fun bike! Definitely switch to longer cranks. I used 175mm.

I switched my main bike to a rigid single-speed plus bike a few months ago and honestly it's an absolute riot. It's amazing what you can get down (and up) on a bike with good geometry, and there's no hiding your weaknesses! I've also conceded and stuck with a dropper, tubeless tyres and hydraulic brakes but other than that it's very bare-bones.

Nice bike build on a budget, I ride a single speed rigid and enjoyed the vid, I bet who ever sold him the Salsa frame; watches this video and wants his bike back now! Probably be a fun snow or sand bike with the big tires. I would go with a 170mm crank, 32 x 18 gearing, and then use 2.35 tires with a carbon fork,,,,i bet you the weight would be 22 lbs. Great work Seth

I don't think I've ever disagreed with a bike build you've done. The Murder Machine was built with nowhere to go in jeans and a t-shirt but this has clipless on it. Always a fun watch and excited to see where the bike goes!

Riding a rigid SS can make familiar trails completely new to you.

I have a Salsa Timberjack and I love it!!! So happy that you ride one as well. Hopefully they see this video and sponsor you. Love your channel! Greetings from Ecuador

I have to say, I love watching you ride without music! Just the sound of tires on dirt, the cassette body, and the crunchy leaves :)

I run a very similar build. I converted a Trek Farley to rigid 29+ SS and it is an absolute ripper. So much fun to have a stupid single speed. Thanks for sharing another awesome single speed build to the masses ❤️

I ride a fully rigid Kona unit x on my bikepacking adventures. They are great for feeling in complete control of your bike
