  • thought I post my steamroller here too, its my newest "winter" bike (it doesn't snow anymore here, just icy rain sometimes) running 650b wheels.
    seatpost is a placeholder bc it has just 27,0mm , will be swapped soon. this will be mostly for riding in the nearby parks. ratio is 46/19.

  • looks great but that chain looks like it's going to make it a massive pain in the arse to get the wheel on and off with it slammed into the rear track ends like that at that tension.

    I remember setting mine up like that once thinking it'd save retensioning when the chain went slack but ended up buying a new chain and fitting so it was a link or two longer as it was a proper faff to do maintenance on it.

  • yo, actually it's no problem getting the rearwheel in and out. this is the biggest ratio I intend to run on this, so if I change gears it'll be less slammed
    @kjlem yes it the "59" with tt 587mm and st is 610mm c-t
