My chain tension on the polo bike was annoying me so I put a 1/2 link in it and angle grinded a little off each dropout (vertical dropouts) and squeezed the wheel in. This resulted in hyper-tension on the chain and a good ride last night.
Sadly It only lasted one night. While riding to work this morning it snapped.
Thankfully I was about 100yds from BLB so I bought a day-glo yellow 1/2 link chain. Now the tension is perfect and the bike looks even more ridiculous!
