I've always been fortunate with my gearing so have never needed to enter the murky world of the half link, but I think I need to now.

On my tarck biek god's own gear (48x19) just fits with the wheel slammed in the dropout but the chain is super tight and I can't centralise the wheel so it runs straight.

Is a half link what I need?

Is the chain new?
If you can set it up (smaller tyre) the first few miles will probably stretch the chain (not real stretch, more like settling in cereal, pushing gaps out!) enough to put the old tyre back.

This may only work with cheap chains?

It's not the tyre that's the problem, there is plenty of tyre clearance, it's that the axle is hard up against the front of the dropout.

Can someone explain why a half link chain is shit?
