New to the site but thought I'd make a quick post just to get my feet wet so to speak!
I've had a 2012 Giant TCX for almost 3 years and just this year started taking part in CX races here in Scotland. Great fun but just to make life more difficult I went SS.
The pic is of my temporary setup which consists of a 17T cog with spacers on the standard hub, and a DIY tensioner. The tensioner is just an old Sora? Rear mech which I cut off the lower jockey wheel. I've race with this setup and it has been fine, no issues!
The TCX is currently at the engineering shop having track style rear forkends manufactured and welded in place to eliminate the tensioner.
Don't have a full shot of the bike but done a few changes! Will get some shots one I get the bike back!
