The Magic gear

  • Today I decided to fit my new single-speed chain, with the half link included.
    I cut the chain to length, as you do, and put all together.
    I noticed it was a bit tight, so i tried sliding the wheel in to the vertical dropouts to see what's what and magically the chain was perfectly tensioned.
    It must be my lucky day

    Anyway it means i don't have to use a tensioner, which is noisy at best.

    With my 'Silent Clutch' freehub-body, and my nigh on silent drivetrain,
    I can now say my bike is fit for ninjas. Proper.

    On my test ride 2 people crossing the road failed to notice me passing right by, giving them a bit of a fright!

    And that coupled with my new crosstop brake set up, on ym new drops, im chuffed to bits today.
    Happy days indeed!

  • nice
    i'm verry happy/lucky with my magic gear as well - without halflik tho - purer - more magic.

    you need to be aware that eventually the chain will slacken a bit due to it being worn in or something. guess the links loosen slightly.
