'dan - The sprocket is a wide based SS adapter sprocket that can only go on one way round on the HG freehub body and is already the second one of its type I've tried, the first being a 16t that was a little loose and I wasn't certain wasn't slightly elliptical, but it doesn't appear to have been that, or at least not totally.
Will be getting a 42-44t chainring soon as I have some cash spare anyway as a 36t is just too small.
Think, as you say, its just gonna be a case of experimenting with different combinations to get the right chain tension and grip.
So frustrating when I've got £1200 worth of bike, that I spent about 3 months scraping and saving to pay for parts and STILL can't ride the bloody thing!
Oh well, guess it all helps to stock up parts for any future projects! :P
