These must be Aluminum bikes right? Great price, but I'm not sure I want another aluminum bike...Oliver said:I was on twentynineinches.com, and they have four picture of the new Redline monocog 29er. Nice looking bike! I am sure it will be priced right for enty level 29ers.
Could be steel. The tubes and dropouts look pretty small for aluminum.Wish I Were Riding said:These must be Aluminum bikes right? Great price, but I'm not sure I want another aluminum bike...
It does look good though. I wonder when they'll post geo numbers too.

Okay, I just looked at there site, so I figure it'll be steel. I'll probably get one now.
Surely they fixed it. There is a disc tab back there. Is there such a thing as 110mm rear disc hub? Can you tell I'm not a BMX guy...donkey said:All of us need to join hands and pray that they fixed the 110mm rear spacing that plagued their 26" monocog.
Other than that little nitpick I think it's awesome. It'll definitely get people out there riding and will probably serve as the first 29" SS for quite a few.

I heard the '06 Monocog (26") is 135 mm.donkey said:All of us need to join hands and pray that they fixed the 110mm rear spacing that plagued their 26" monocog.

Stranger things have happened.endure26 said:That frame has disc mounts and that would definately lead me to believe 135mm.
There are no 120mm disc hubs - not enough room.
correct, for 06 they went 135...shiggy said:I heard the '06 Monocog (26") is 135 mm.
I linked the pics from the http://www.twentynineinches.com site.~martini~ said:Looks to be steel and 135 to me folks! Nice slender tubes, wider spacing in the rear. Doesn't look to be suspension corrected though. Looks like a short(er) fork up there, but then, the pic isn't all that great(your links didn't show Shiggy).
The Monocog has had disc tabs and 120 mm spacing for a couple of years. Plenty of room for the rotor on a 120 mm singlespeed hub and they do exist in the BMX world.endure26 said:That frame has disc mounts and that would definately lead me to believe 135mm.

bikecop said:nice looking bike, especially for that money. Any group experience with monocogs as far as those rather thin looking rear dropouts? do they bend easily?
