I&#39;m thinking of running my SS Ti as a double speed in an upcoming event with big climbs. My bike has 425.0mm chainstays, vertical dropouts, and a Phil eccentric BB. I currently have Raceface Deus XC cranks, so can add another ring. I have a Phil rear hub and use White Industries freewheels, so would start with a 16/19 or 17/19 Dos eno freewheel. Trick would be to find two front chainrings (same no. teeth apart from rear) to try to nail same chainlength on each of the 2 gears so as to not have to adjust anything when switching back and forth.<br /> I&#39;ve played with chainlength calculators and so on.<br /> Does anyone here have practical experience running their SS as a double? </p> http://www.ifrider.com/forum/topic.php?id=139#post-403 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 03:13:46 +0000 Darren 403@http://www.ifrider.com/forum/ <p>Hi everyone. I&#39;m looking for a black thomson elite stem, (25.4) 110 x 5 for my pink IF SS.

In addition to being a new and very happy IF owner, I do a lot of work with companies to fight counterfeit products. If this is an issue IF is dealing with I&#39;d love to lend a hand if I can. I know some of the bigger brands are dealing with the issue ... I know Trek&#39;s General Counsel has been to China to try to address the issue over there where most fakes come from.</p> <p>Chris </p> http://www.ifrider.com/forum/topic.php?id=138#post-401 Sun, 30 Oct 2011 19:39:03 +0000 Pete Beer 401@http://www.ifrider.com/forum/ <p>Wanted 16 - 17&quot; non disc steel SS frame.

Thanks for the quick delivery. Now I can decorate my IF Deluxe ti again. I would never get the idea to provide any other No Name bike with Independence Fabrication stickers. Only where the name Independent Fabrication is on it, should also be an Independent Fabrication bike. So do not worry that I&#39;m using the decals on a no name bike. Once I installed the decals I will send you some pictures to prove that I&#39;m put them on my ti deluxe.<br /> Many greetings from Germany</p> <p>Helmut </p> http://www.ifrider.com/forum/topic.php?id=118#post-396 Thu, 01 Sep 2011 19:27:05 +0000 Ryan Coover 396@http://www.ifrider.com/forum/ <p>This bike has been SOLD - It&#39;s in very good hands and will be loved.
