Do you jokers somehow not know about ass-rockets?
Rear bottle cages are usually mounted to the seat rails, not the seatpost, but it's not some totally alien concept.
>>948869
Yes
>>948884
I actually have that exact setup on some of my bicycles, but as you said, they're mounted to the saddle rails.
>not the seatpost
WHO THE FUCK SAID ANYTHING ABOUT A FUCKING SEATPOST? He said seattube, not seatpost, learn the fucking difference you LITERAL FUCKING DOWNTUBE. And please tell me how to put those on the seattube while also having a third bottle cage on the standard seattube mount (the anon said to also have one on the seat tube besides that double thing).

>>949043
That there fork is on backwards bud, the disc and caliper go on the non-drive side
>>949127
No, it's not, as you can clearly see from the rake. Some QR disc fork makers put the caliper on mirrored because it pushes the axle into the dropout rather that trying to eject it. Cotic, for example, were famous for this.
>>948869
Op's bike also appears to have a superfluous lever, the only non-excusable part to remove for the lazy conversion

Fuck if I'm going to defend that. It's a student work and it's not very good. Context it yourself, it's as simple as performing an Internet Google Search on the title.
I'm only against the blanket dismissal of contemporary art by people who have not found a single thing to appreciate in it. It's an idiotic, tiresome attitude.
>>949140
Yeah, except here's the dumb thing: Putting the disc on the driveside has nothing to do with not ejecting the wheel out of downward-facing dropouts. Putting the caliper on the front of the fork blade instead of the back is what achieves that effect.
>>949192

>>949193
If you ever looked at a disc caliper you'd see why you can't simply put it on any which way you want. There is no way to mount it on the front of the NDS of the fork, just as there is no way to mount it on the back of the drive side of the fork. The only stupid is you.

>>949894
>not knowing what an uptube is
What a fucking downtube.
Jk, I don't know what an uptube is either. But since it sounds like the opposite of downtube, it's probably the red tube in pic related. Forgive the ultra long wheelbase.
>>948840
I really love how this bike looks, so I need some explanation.
It's a road frame right? Is the front wheel just a wide 700c or 26"? It looks even with the back wheel which is why I think it could be 700c but maybe the larger tire on the front wheel evens it out with the larger diameter but thinner tired wheel on the back.
>>949908
There would be a pivot point where the uptube and toptube meet the seattube.
>>949836
Think this could work with a single arm fork?

>>949031
>implying that the average schmo anywhere in the world appreciates non-shit beer
>>953700
>what I don't get here however is why are both freewheels the same size
Because the only thing it does is tensions chain in a convoluted way.
>>953709
no, you downtube. what it does is lets you go forward by pedalling forward and also go forward by pedalling backwards. try looking at that pic more carefully and grasping what moves which way when the chain moves one way or the other. there's even a word for this sort of drivetrain that I can't remember, "retro-something" perhaps.
usually, though, all this is made with a larger freewheel for the backwards pedalling so you get a lower gear.

Oh cool, but I guess it only works with two separate freewheels right? Looks like that is the case in the picture as well.
>>953711
Retro direct
>>953717
> only works with two separate freewheels right?
Correct, they need to be able to freewheel independently as they'd be rotating at different speeds (if they were different sizes). They're linked with a threaded BB cup placed between them.
>>949549
>Under 33 pounds
The glory of steel.
>>953741
>they'd be rotating at different speeds (if they were different sizes)
they need to be independent because they need to be able to rotate opposing directions, no matter the size
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKT97jOceXE
Some OC
>>953758
>need to be able to rotate opposing directions
But they don't. They each rotate the same way, or they'd drive the bike backwards. It's only the crank that reverses.
>>953776
As one rotates forward, driving the bike forwards, the other one rotates backwards and freewheels.
He's correct, I messed up with my earlier post saying they need to go at different speeds (despite being well aware of how retro direct works, I just wasn't thinking).
>>953776
maybe my wording was a bit vague
>rotate opposing directions
well, yes, both of them are installed the usual direction, so that it drives the wheel when its sprocket moves clockwise, and freewheels when counter-clockwise.
what's opposing here is the directions how sprockets move relatively to each other: either way you pedal, while one freewheel drives the wheel, the other's sprocket freewheels counter-clockwise
>>953763
had an old guy tell me he did that because his back was messed up but he still loved riding. I hope I never injure my back so badly I have to do something like flipping the bars just so I can ride without pain.
>>949836
doesn't this make fine sense on a DH bike?

>>953696
I know what this is for, but...why? What is to be gained by also being able to pedal backwards yet still move forward?
>>957880
Because it gives you a different gear ratio when pedalling backwards. It's just a different way of doing things that some people find fun or interesting, plus it could have some advantages (lighter and simpler, no need to anticipated shifting gear as the reverse one is always available).
>>950190

>>949140
Yes it is on backwards. Look at the rake, that frame is spec'd as straight fork. IT IS ON BACKWARDS! Cotic does no such thing. You forced meme tube.
>>958250
Doesn't matter what the frame is designed for, the fork is not on backwards. Turn it around and the fork would have negative rake.

I kind of like this. Was the frame not supposed to have a connecting seat tube? There's nothing on top of the crank like there was one.
The handle bars are weird, but I don't understand the brake.
>>958446

>>959878
Actually, it might be a derailleur, seeing as the dumbass has a cable routed to it. But if so, it's only functioning as a tensioner. It's definitely 2x1 from what I can see.
>>959881

Here, maybe this'll help.
>>959888
Not underneat it you fucktard fuck it's just not on the cog well because the dumbass has it fucked up
>>959893
Okay, so you think the side plates of the chain are perfectly balanced on the tips of those teeth, have managed not to slip off whilst the bike was being moved about (thus making the assumption that it hasn't been ridden at all since being built up), and that the guy would take the time to needlessly wire up the derailer to serve as a tensioner when he could just tighten down the limit screws but not take enough care to actually line it up?
I think not. I think you're just trying to save yourself because you're a blind dumbass.

That means double front single back, right? It's not. That image you posted may show a cog being used as a spacer or a manual change two speed (loosen axle, move chain, pull wheel back and tighten) but that doesn't mean that's what the Mixte is. It has a rear derailer and shifter, all cabled up.
>>960088
