Hi all, just brought a Cinelli Mash work frame set, I want to use it both fixed and as a Single speed cross bike so want a chain set that will take both a 44 or 48T chain ring plus being able to fit a 34T for cross. Is this possible? I'm sure on my old crosscheck I was able to do this,can't seem to find anything suitable, any ideas? Don't really want to change the chain set each time

Thanks

you would have to change the chain every time..

How about a smaller difference in teeth at the front coupled with a different cog/freewheel at the rear?

Chain change is no bother to be honest, just want something quick and easy to change

Hmm fair enough, but even if you use a Powerlink/lock you should replace them fairly often, they can get weaker or damaged during removal. But then maybe that's just Sram covering their ass.

any compact 110bcd chainset would do but you would be better off changing the rear sprocket instead. or even have a spare wheels so you don't have to change to the cross tyres each time

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
