Holy thread resurrection Batman!
Double chainring up front + flip-flop where teeth add up to the same number - anyone done this?
EG 46/42 chainring with 18 on the fixed side and 22 on the freewheel gives 67" fixed and 51" freewheel for hills
I'm assuming chainline will have to be a bit off on the freewheel side (3/32" chain required). And I know there'll have to be a little bit of movement in the dropouts even with the matched teeth, but I have pretty long dropouts so that's okay.
Unless there's some horrible glaring error which makes me look like a complete prat, I'm gonna do this.
