ichops Posted August 28, 2013 Share Could be yours, I bought it a few years back from Tour de Frans as full on geared and changed to SS myself. doubt you want to buy it tho, was on the bike rack and reversed into a tree stump. Woodstock managed to bend it sort of straight so at least it is still ride-able. I am busy with a Moser that I got from Delgado.OH crap !!! I was really getting hopeful !How badly bent is it ??- if it's US then maybe turf it my way and I can hang it up in my braai room as a momento ????

"Stevens" Posted August 29, 2013 Share Surely the angle of wrap decreases with an increase in diameter of the chain ring = less wrap > what am I missing here as the cogs remained 16t in both cases ?The logic in the above post doesn't work (49 gives better wrap than 48 ? due to diameter increase angle of wrap must decrease) Increase in wrap due to tensioner being pulled closer to chainstay is greater than the decrease in wrap due to larger diameter of 1 tooth bigger chainring. As I said its a function of a lot of factors. I learned the expensive way. Using half links you should never experience these problems, but its not an option for me.

Thug Posted September 14, 2013 Share Was riding my ss roadbike on Friday morning and my damn chain came off. I'll have to make sure in future that the chain is properly tensioned. Also, I'll have to put a 17 on the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
