After my xtracycle got stolen last year- i had to rebuild again
The main goal for this build is range.....after doing much research between the edge runner and the yuba i decided to go for the yuba due to price and good reviews.....
The yuba does have some proprietary components
i will disclose further details in my next post
part list:
since this is a heavy cargo bike with a lot of weight it's best to go with DH parts.
Kalloy 31.8 x 350mm Silver Seatpost
Shimano Alivio BB‑UN26 68x122mm‑ENG Square Tapered
vp components Aluminum.VP A51 1-1/8" HEADSET IN BLACK (never again)
1x1 surly black fork
front 9c - 2807 with chinese champion rim+spokes (weak)
shimano v-breaks x2
rear break cable = Cable - Tandem Replacement Bicycle Brake Cable TP285
note:
my new rig looks identical to the above-with slight few differences of having better components
the front wheel is custom built
the headset is a fsa dh pig pro
another note- if one decides to go with a front hub, do order the rear wheel from yuba - the rear drop out is 14mm - sure there are hacks/adapters to make 10mm rear wheels fit but they dont work well.
i had the adapter from yuba the circle bmx 10mm to 14mm and the rear wheel kept slipping - now they have a newer adapter i had issues with that as well-- so to save issues get the 14mm hub that was engineered for the frame.
i chose not to use a center derailleur, so i got a crankset with 2 mash guards
