  • 32 x 13, perf for bobbin round the city
    this chain is worn - new will be snug
    needs real ss cog

    cheers @Eingang :)

  • Looks rad tbh :P
    How did you manage to tension the chain properly? Just lucky or did you actually calculate some stuff? I can't see a half link.
    I'm working on an SSMTB as well and the chain tensioner I bought looks pretty wank...

  • I have a DMR chain tensioner knocking about if you've got an 8 speed rear derailleur you can trade me :p

  • Bit of luck and a bit of destruction ;) Lined up a new 10 speed chain, turned out it was just shy of fitting perfectly, so i filed the dropouts. lol.

    The 10 speed ended up breaking, but i think that was because it was a bit narrow for the chainring, so an outer plate popped off. Im going to buy a qual 8 speed chain once this gets here.

    I agree, i try to avoid chain tensioners. Using half links is really nice, but it requires an 1/8" chain, and i hate running a wide chain on a narrow chainring :/
