About 95% there on the Grubb/Holdsworth track bike...
Problem I have now is that the new 27" inch wheels I've had made up are hitting the brake bridge when I attempt to get the chain onto the chainring... The logical thing to do is get a few more links on the chain so the wheel sits further back in the track ends then, voila! Enough clearance... Does that sound right?
It's 48:17 so the gearing is taking up a lot of chain... It had 700c wheels (tho' it's built to take 27" wheels) and a 15t sprocket when I bought it so there wasn't a clearance issue to begin with...
Once I've sorted this out and stuck on the long reach caliper I'm getting from Kiwi Cycles Paul I'll be ready to roll... Wanna try and get it all sorted today!
