Hi,
It's been more than 20 years since I rode a fixed gear so have no memory as to whether this is normal or not! Maybe you could help...
Sram Omnium 48t, 18t Halo Fix-g Cog, KMC Z510HX.
Chain line is perfect. Contrary to what I've read almost everywhere, the current Omniums have a 45mm chain line. I wonder if they did this intentionally to increase compatibility with frames.?.?.
The fix-g cog position is adjusted accordingly and chain line is perfect.
After a couple of hundred miles I still get a bit of noise. Kind of like a front derailleur rubbing a bit on an extreme chain line.
Does it just need more bedding in or should I expect a little noise? Ta.
