Ok kids,
I want to do this in theory before it becomes an ordeal like everything I do on my bikes does.
Searched but to no avail, I got a new(to me, three months old) Fuji track and as you may or may not know it comes with the ol' 48-16t gearing.
A bit too high for me on roads so I decided to go a bit spinny on this compared to my conversion.
I got a 18t sprocket today and was wondering how much(roughly or not) does the wheel need to move per tooth.
The wheel at good tension is sitting about half way in the dropouts and I recon I will need to add a link, so another question, how much movement in the dropout does the link (+ or-) make?
Cheers,
Stein.
