NotSoBigBen Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Chain tension sorted, went for the 'magic' gear option (1 tooth up on the back)!

I used to run a tightish tension on the chain and later learnt that a bit of slack gives a far better ride feel with less friction in the drive train and runs silently Audible Anarchy 1

It spins back 'ok' ..... Hairy 1
Wil6 Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Thinking on building myself a Titanium 29er SS. Currently riding a 26er Aluminum and I'm hooked. Where can I find value for money frames and what make do you recommend? Or is steel the way to go?

Ti is lekker light, with the same smoothness of steel but apparently some flex a bit too much. Steel is heavy but moer strong and also old school what is your budget for the frame if I may ask?

This frame is really nice The reason I am in this situation is because I torn my ligaments and can't train or do anything until the end of the year But on a positive side, I will be saving a lot of cash
