With the cranks I've got, I'm going to have to take a file to the cranks to get the chainring on the inside. Plus, the chainring makes a nice 'all in one pattern' with the cranks when it goes on the outside - haha. I haven't ridden it yet. I wanted to get the chainline right, at least by eye, before taking it out. Also, didn't want to start hacking things up and then find out it could have been a whole lot easier and i'm just not getting something - I'm not that gifted a mechanic.
I've got a 16 sprocket on the back. Just what came with the DMR spacer kit but it looks about as tough soup. That may need changing. The chainring's a 44 so I reckon that's an alright ratio.
I may be being naiive/simple but surely measurements are measurements. If one person can do it, surely we all can. It certainly feels naiive to say it.
