The Bike Shop / Re: Fit Aitken S3.5 is BACK

Dish has been checked, wheel is trued, it’s the frame. At this point I don’t care, I’m having fun on this thing

With me seat that low I’m not sitting to pedal obviously...I’m 140lbs and have a skinny butt, and the seat has more padding than you think it does. It’s not bad. Not better or worse than a mid pivotal, just different

It’s off, the picture doesn’t quite do it justice. And I will eventually have brakes on it, I wish it was centered. And before I bought those spacers, it was fucking hell even getting it slightly straight. It would just pull extremely hard to the right. I’m ok, it’s a nice frame and faster geo than my SFA.

I tried pushing it, running a 28/9. Sooooo close. So I got the 3mm spacers putting the backend at 13.768, and I’m ok with.

I’ll stick to my screenshot of Fit’s chain length guide (put together by leading industry experts!) that has served me with perfectly slammed backends with outstanding chain tension with my last 6 or 7 frames. But thank you for your expert opinions professor! I’m glad my posts prompted you to insert your backend knowledge on a dying forum.

« on: January 12, 2020, 08:33:56 PM »Are the wheel slammer things on the outside of the dropouts?Yes. And yes. The wheel slammed perfect on a 13.75 backend running a 27-9 ratio. I normally don’t even buy a frame unless I can slam the backend. Now with this frame and 3mm simple spacers and a 25-9, the wheel won’t sit straight. Even without the spacers the wheel pulls extremely hard to the right when I tighten it down. Never seen this on an aftermarket frame 17 years of riding. And believe me I’m a nerd about bike stuff.
Is your wheel dished?

No hubguard, odyssey Antiguan with 3/8s axle. I just bought those Simple wheel slammers, it did the trick perfectly for chain tension, the wheel is still pulled towards the drive side. I sold a T1 SFA for this frame! Whatever...bike check tomorrow

I got one, 21’’ in tan. Beautiful frame with die cut stickers. I’ve had a hell of a time getting the backend straight though, it pulls real hard to the drive side when you even slightly tighten the bolts, it’s like it’s off or something.

dont get a freecoaster, they are all shitty and require you to run your chain loose. I’m running the Odyssey Antigram with a 3/8 axle, I love it! Also the newer Profile/Maderas with the chromoly female axles are nice, just make sure your bearings are seated correctly
