Mackie Posted May 28, 2010 Share 2hrs23mins to build the bike? Impressive. I really dig the Sterling Moss Green colour. Mackie2010-05-28 07:43:54 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreZA Posted May 28, 2010 Share why do you have a chain device on a frame with horizontal drop outs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudsimus Posted May 28, 2010 Share why do you have a chain device on a frame with horizontal drop outs? Waited for that question... Then I can run a longer chain to make changing sprocket sizes easier. And I like the noise it makes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowta Posted May 28, 2010 Share why do you have a chain device on a frame with horizontal drop outs? Was about to ask the same question.Nice bike by the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudsimus Posted May 28, 2010 Share Another reason for the chain device...I normally use a 14t. The chain device allows the chain to engage more sprocket teeth at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreZA Posted May 28, 2010 Share Then I can run a longer chain to make changing sprocket sizes easier. And I like the noise it makes. except for the sound part, that is the beauty of horizontal drop-outs. It can accommodate quite a few different gear ratios.

But with the chain device I dont need that much movement when changing gears. And like I said..another reason is that it enables the chain to engage more gears in a smaller gear. Most SS should not have a smaller gear that a 16t. I use a 14t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowta Posted May 28, 2010 Share Re: 14 tooth. What size chainring are you using? can you not get a bigger chainring to keep the ratios similar? Not meaning to sound like an %ss, I mean if works for you great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudsimus Posted May 28, 2010 Share I use a 32t chainring. I love the 32-14 ratio. Never had any issue. I sometimes use a 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldron Posted May 28, 2010 Share Man I love SS - they're so clean - not too many cables all over the place and no derailleurs and stuff. Beautiful bike! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowta Posted May 28, 2010 Share I use a 32t chainring. I love the 32-14 ratio. Never had any issue. I sometimes use a 16. 36-16 would give you a similar ratio. Down here I use a 34-18 for Tokai etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
