What's the deal with the Spock picture?

Is it the done thing to change the rear cog rather than your chain ring? I don't have a clue tbh.

I do know that the 42-16 feels a little small though, does just one tooth make a big difference?

Thanks for your help.

Can anyone advise me about which gear ratio would be suitable for me?

I have an off the peg fixed wheel. Ratio is 42-16 which is okay, but I find myself spinning out- alot.

I am in Glasgow so its not exactly billiard table country! I do a 23 mile commute so I feel I need a bigger gear but not something I would struggle to get away from the lights.

Can anyone of you peeps advise me on which gear I should try.

You want about 1/2" play in the chain, grab the top bit and move up/down... might be wise to make it a bit tighter if you've got track shy testers 3/32 chain...

Thanks for all the input. The chain tug Iv'e got is probably overkill as its highly unlikely I will be able to dislodge the rear axle from the drop outs with my pedal force!

But its handy to know how much tension I should have in my chain.

Cheers

tight - but not so tight that it locks and crunches round the rear sprocket. Try to eliminate as much play as you can while track standing.

Thats exactly what I was wanting, thank you very much.

Hello

Wondered if I could get a bit of advice re; chain tugs and correct tension when riding fixed wheel.

I got a Surly chain tug I am going to fit to my bike but just wanted to ask the best procedure-any tips and most importantly what kind of tension do I look for in my chain?

Many thanks

oooft. Sore one, got to keep your eye on the ball. He was lucky for sure.

I'll get my coat.

Never been his biggest fan but I like his indignant/arrogant attitude when it comes to sprinting. He's nails.

His results speak for themselves.
