Hi all, first post and I am asking some advice!
I have now got my bike built up pretty much as I want- much time and head scratching was spent on chain line, which I think is now pretty much spot on.
The issue now is that even though the chain looks straight when the bike is in the stand and I turn the pedals the chain "grumbles" as if it wants to shift to another gear- which is an issue as it only has the one...
The setup is a Surly flip flop hub, 13 tooth Dura-Ace track sprocket, Truvativ Isoflow cranks with a 38 tooth ring, and a SRAM 1/8th inch chain.
Ideally I'd like to ride it into work tomorrow, but as this is the first fixed gear that I have a) built, and b) ridden I would like that noise to go away before I do!
