Why do I get the feeling I am going to regret reviving this thread?
New bike comes with 1/8 chainring, 1/8 chain and 1/8 fixed cog, and looking to put a White Industries Dos Eno double freewheel on other side (I don't ride fixed, and having a bit of flexibility in gearing suits what I want the bike to do)
Trouble is the Dos Eno freewheel is 3/32 - with switching between the two cogs chainline may never be perfect, and biggest fear is whether this will be enough to affect drive, or end up derailing chain
1/32 is a tiny difference in chain width, but is it going to screw up my plan for a simple ratio change? next best option is a custom free/free hub (Phil Woods or similar) but the tyres I plan to run are directional so not really an option
Any suggestions
