I made this penny farthing looking bike last year with a Next Mako 20" mtn bike. I'm thinking of making something similar with the wally 20" fat bike. Just put the 26" fat fork and tire on the 20" bike and lengthen the seat post and stem. Would be a super fun bike. I get a lot of comments on the...

Here's a close up of the 20" version called the Massif. Looks like it comes with slicks

Nope , no sale date. Just have to watch walmart an see when it pops up.

Here it is!

Haha, nice, that would be awesome

Just a heads up.....I have personally confirmed that there will in fact be a new "Beast" available in a couple weeks or so that comes with disc brakes and a 1x7 speed rear freewheel and rear derailure for less than $300. It's not going to be called the Beast but something else. If anyone is one...

I got my rear disc brake and rear gears on the bike. I copied Blown240's idea and put a 42 T chainring on the rear cassette. I did it different though and just TIG welded a steel chainring to a 28T sprocket. Was super easy. Works awesome. The Beast has a lower mounting spot for the derailure...

I found a set of brandnew Kevlar Origin8 Devast8tor tires locally for $15 each so I canceled my Amazon order for them. I lucked out and got a set of the good light Kevlar bead ones and they have and actual weight each of 1600-1630 grams, I weighed them. Anyway, the Beast rides much better with...

A quick update: Well, I took the Beast out today for a little ride after going through it, regreasing, swaping cranks and running 24f/18r gearing. I must say, this bike absolutely SUCKS in stock form even geared down to where I have it. Single speed + coaster brake is, as Charles Barkley would...

So I just got a Blue Beast today. I'm not going to post a pic yet cause it is all stock and looks like any other Beast and there are a million pics of those online already. I've got a few parts on order and I'll post pics when I start the build. Here is a list of my build plan: Stage 1- Rigid...

@blown240- So I found this matching rear hub that's $10 cheaper than the Deore hub. Looks to be the same size and spec as the Deore. This or the Deore for the rear what do you think...

Awesome, thanks for all the info and help.

Yeah I'll definitly start a build thread as soon as my parts arrive and I begin. Thanks for the link! I Just ordered the front hub. For the rear, Using the cut and widened Deore hub, were you able to reuse the rear spokes as well doing a similar reverse spiral pattern or did you have to buy new...

So, My Blue Beast arrived today. I took some measurements to see about modding a single crown 5-6" Travel Fork to work with the frame geometry. Well it just so happens that the head tube angle on the stock Beast is WAY too steep so the front end needs to be lifted about 3" or so to get it where...

@blown240- Hey do you have the brand and/or specs/ size of the front disc hub you got off Amazon, or perhaps a link to buy it? I'm going to be re-lacing my front hub for disc brakes soon. Thanks

12" Travel Super V and making a 6" Uber with stock triangle I only had 10" of travel on my front fork which worked awesome for a while but then it got worn out super fast and needed rebuilding. My friend had the Risse bigfoot fork which did have 12" of travel and was modified into an air shock...

That makes sense. I guess it all comes down to point of use and personal preference like you said. It's true that you can't always have the chain inline with all gears, but a lot of manufacturers put the pivot inline with the front middle chainring since that is the one used most often. If you...

Nice Job! It's great to see someone make do full suspension. I'm also planning on making a full suspension beast when I get mine in a few days. One observation, however, is your rear suspension pivot is in the wrong location. Ideally, you want the pivot to be inline with the chain so that when...

I found this Next brand dual suspension 20" kids mountain bike in the dumpster. After hard though of what to do with it I decided to make it into a tall bike. Not super tall and over the top but just tall enough to be interesting and fun. The unified rear triangle made reconfiguring the geometry...
