TYGA Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Thanks Iron, I'm def going to run into issues with chain width as I am currently using a ridiculously overwide halflink chain. SS is meant to make life easier not MORE complicated!

SS is meant to make life easier not MORE complicated! Well SS for me was more hassle than fun till i did this , now im as happy as a pig is crap. never worry just ride and clean.
TYGA Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 I haven't ordered the tensioner yet but got lucky on a magic ratio of 32 x 17 on a Medium Niner MCR. I thought I'd be hopelessly overgeared as it's pretty steep where I ride but compared to my Inbred with 32 x 18 this bike climbs like a homesick squirrel...am loving it.
divernick Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 Magic gear eh? What chain are you using? I had a magic gear once. Lasted about 100km then the chain stretched and I had to put the tensioner back on.... I have a cheapie SRAM PC-1 1/8 inch chain....
TYGA Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 Got a halflink on at the moment. The magic gear is just a interim fix until I get my tensioner so I'm not too stressed about it. Maybe when the chain becomes too slack for the 17 I can replace it with the 18 I really prefer...anyway probably placing a sneaky order today. To tell you the truth I wasn't planning on building the bike till next year until after I'd collected all the bits I needed but then I was tinkering in the garage one evening last week and next thing I new the Niner was built and the Inbred lying in a hundred pieces on the garage floor.

I know that feeling well.

Nice one ... so can we please have pics of the new build and the naked inbred

Hairy Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 What I don't like about the Hub option is that you then have to build up a whole wheel or rebuild your existing wheel and then you also have to use those silly screw on sprockets ... had those sprockets on the old inbred and I must say I did not really enjoy them at all
TYGA Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 I'm running the screw on SS freewheels on a DMR Revolver SS specific hub and they are a pain as they wind themselves so tight onto the Hub you are close on guaranteed of damaging them when removing them and they are becoming increasingly difficult to find. For the amount of money I've spent on those I could have bought myself a very nice rear hub and a handful of replacement sprockets.
