So after a right old faff with chainsets, chainlines and chainrings (details in the Owners thread), the bike was finally buttoned up last night.
A brief spin, position tweak, then bars were padded and taped.
The gearing setup is a 17/21T Surly Dingle Cog at the back, and 39/44T chainrings up front on a 130BCD road double chainset.
Took it out for a proper 20-mile shakedown today, plenty of flat for the 44x17T gear and then reached one of my local climbs and switched to the 39x21T setup.
It's ace, I fooking love it!
Haven't ridden Fixed for about 4 years, so it's been a lot of fun learning to whip-skid the bike down hills again.
