  5. i Have a Noob Question.. how tight must the chain be? if i tighten the chain to its "Magic Gear" it seems to be way too tight and hampers pedaling, if i put in a extra link, and tensioner at max. it now seems too lose with a lot of slack

  11. I think this is for those people that just make up there mind, you and once set a table now want to move it 2 inches to the left, because it will look better there, and well don't want to have to take everything off to move it safely only to have to repack it.

  15. ok, so after over 2 years of planning, scheming , changing my mind, making other plan's, going back to the drawing table, other interfering plan's , changing my mind again, i have finally gotten somewhere, ok not yet complete but making progress. i have bought a frame, started building a single speed, changed my mind, and built the bike up into a geared MTB for a friend, bought another frame transfer all my componets onto the new frame, and now slowly started building up the old frame into a single speed. it has a Dmr single speed kit, although found my magic gear by chance and thus not using it, with a E-Thirteen single speed chain-ring, on Shimano cranks, old Trek frame with Rock-shox Tora forks. only thing missing now is a set of brakes
  16. I think thats what they call a Beefull bike
