A masterclass in clean, high-load urban engineering.
While my daily work as a freelance technician keeps Greater Manchester’s commuters and school fleets running safely, my personal builds are where I dive deep into discipline-specific engineering. This project is focused entirely on street, park, and light freeride riding where simplicity, bulletproof reliability, and perfect geometry are everything.
The heart of this rig is the legendary NS Majesty Park frame, paired with a completely rigid Identiti Rebate 450mm Fork. By opting for a 450mm axle-to-crown rigid setup, the bike retains an incredibly nimble, responsive street geometry without the weight or energy-loss of a suspension fork. Without suspension to soak up heavy impacts, every single component has to be flawlessly installed, spaced, and torqued to handle high-load urban riding.
Technical Specifications & Setup:
The Frame: NS Majesty Park (Dirt/Park specific geometry).
The Front End: Identiti Rebate Fork (Rigid, 450mm axle-to-crown) keeping the front end stiff and predictable.
Cockpit & Ergonomics: 90mm high-rise bars paired with a low-stack street stem and robust odi grips, delivering a minimalist, direct street-trials feel and maximum pull-up leverage.
Drivetrain & Gearing: A super-clean, high-tension single-speed setup driven by a punchy 26t chainring for instant, crisp acceleration between features.
Tyre Setup & Pressures: High-volume street tyres set strictly to 40 PSI Front / 40 PSI Rear. This specific 40/40 baseline delivers the ultimate balance between fast rolling speed on concrete, maximum rim protection on hard drops, and a predictable, solid landing platform.
As a certified mechanic, keeping a stripped-back street bike performing quietly and tightly is the ultimate test of build precision. No creaks, no chain slap—just pure, direct performance.
