Item should be shipped back to Galleon within seven (7) calendar days upon receipt of the item. This fully rigid mountain bike is at home on trails, gravel roads, and even pavement to give you a versatile ride that's plenty fun on the single track. Tektro mechanical disc brakes and a nice, wide 704mm riser handlebar round out the package for great control and a comfortable riding position. Durable double wall 29-inch wheels let your roll over obstacles, whether you are on the road or cruising on trails. A chromoly frame and fork makes for old-school style and gives you the smooth ride quality that steel is known for. I am probably going to get another one of these but I was just curious if any of you had suggestions for something similar that i should look into. I rode it so hard and for so long I ended up breaking the frame. The redline monocog is a steel single speed 29er for the ultimate in simplicity. I use to have a redline 29er monocog that I absolutely loved. 25 inch tires grip well in gravel and are efficient enough for paved roadsĪbout Redline Bikes Monocog 29 Single Speed Mountain Bike Tektro mechanical disc brakes offer ample stopping powerĭurable double wall aluminum alloy 29 inch wheels keep you rolling over obstacles At MSRP of $420.00 The Monocog is a decent, low-cost entry into singlespeed riding and would not make a bad first bike for the mountain biker looking to try cross.Redline Bikes Monocog 29 Single Speed Mountain Bike Featuresįull chromoly steel frame and fork are durable for years of riding A couple of them didn't want to give it back. I invited a few friends to try out my Monocog at Alpenrose and they all came back giggling with delight, which I took as a good sign. But if you're coming into cross from mountain biking and you want to go singlespeed, you could do a lot worse than to start here. (If you wanted to add drop bars you could turn this into a really fun Monster Cross singlespeeder.) In summary, roadies will hate this bike but frankly they've got plenty of roadie-style cross choices already. The stock V-brakes work just fine, but you can easily swap in disc brakes.

I've already upgraded the pedals, crankset and bottom bracket, which shaved over a full pound off the weight.

The cassette allows me a wide range of cog sizes, easier to swap in and out than freewheels and when I'm ready to upgrade the stock wheels it will be easy to find hubs that will fit.
The rear ends are spaced at 135mm, and the stock hub is a singlespeed cassette hub with the same 135 spacing. In fact, I think most people who get and love this bike buy it for the frameset and upgrade parts as they go along. This bike has high potential for upgrading. The 26" wheel size will get you no help in the pits (and are not allowed at UCI races, but if you're racing cross on a mountain bike you're not going for UCI points anyway), but it's sturdy enough that, if set up properly, mechanicals will be few and far between. But for courses that favor singlespeeds - such as last week's Alpenrose Dairy course - it's a fun and rewarding bike to ride. The Monocog is NOT a cyclocross bike, it's a singlespeed mountain bike, so it IS definitely heavy on run-ups and when suitcasing over barriers. Descending, even over bumps, is a very straightforward affair, though riders unaccustomed to a fully-rigid mountain bike will want to practice in non-race situations to get used to the feel. The bike really responds to my pedal stroke and in spite of its relative heavier weight it rewards my accelerations quickly enough to let me power over the berms. The straight fork shortens the wheels base just enough to make the bike feel quick without feeling overly "squirrelly", and it handles grass and gravel with equal aplomb. MSRP $420.00 (26" model, the 29'er costs a bit more) This bike has been ridden through an entire season of short-track xc, a few weeks of cross practices and my first cross race last weekend. Here are specs: Test model: 17" (medium). For the singlespeed mountain biker wanting to try cyclocross on a very tight budget, consider the Redline Monocog. That's why I'm grateful for the grass-roots ethos of singlespeed racing, which encourages simplicity and resourcefulness over high-concept technology and flash. Getting into cyclocross from other cycling disciplines can be intimidatingly expensive, especially when you see so many people racing on the latest carbon-fiber this-and-that.
