I assume they'd wear in half the time as all the stress is going into half the number of teeth with the same number of revolutions.

As long as you've got an even number of teeth on the chain ring and cog and mount the chain so that only the inner plates are on the teeth i'd imagine that it should be okay. The outer plates of the chain don't touch the teeth at all, and the chain only stretches on the outer plates.

Sadly not. Just an everyday LFGSS lurker, i'm afraid.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
