Birmingham Bike Polo (Wednesday nights / Sundays - info in the thread)

Good to have Danski back. Fun, close games tonight.

Suggestion for future polo sessions; can we have lot more slow/B,C player games (maybe straight after a fast/A player game).

I enjoyed tonight. We do usually have more slow games, not sure why we didn't earlier but I was actually about to say that I thought Ross, Raz and Mya played well considering.

Yeah - it's kind of pointless just mixing everything up, as the C players get dumped in goal or can't get into the outfield game. I usually take a more active role in shuffling games between fast/slow, but it was difficult last night with 3 people sitting out, not enough bikes, not enough mallets etc etc.

Neil, I don't know, I have a 16t single speed (fat) rear sprocket and a mountain bike (skinny bugger) 22t on the front, so a half link? dunno any more than that, but whatever fits really, tis only for polo now, that bike. I'd rather have a good fit on the rear sprocket as that's in better condition.

I tried a narrow mountain bike chain but it slipped as it couldn't sit on the sprockets, i'm hoping I don't need a tensioner.. but it's looking though I may..

Sarah, it sounds like you're trying to put a 3/32" chain on a 1/8" sprocket. Easiest thing to do is get a 1/8" chain, as Neil says, but didn't you find your previous one was hooking up your big chainring up front? Alternatively, you could change your freewheel to a 3/32" one - I have a used 18t you can have for a fiver, or a new one for £10 (Shimano, so slightly better than Dicta ones which you can admittedly get for about £7).
