Chain length
« on: 31 October, 2013, 08:55:14 pm »
Got new wheels and want to make use of double fixed rear end but not sure how I determine chain length for this. Is it simple as sorting it on the large cog?

Yes, but with the wheel as far forward as possible (as it'll move back for the smaller cog).

...and if your drop-outs are long enough you could loose 2 or 3 teeth for the flip-side cog.  I normally loose 1 tooth.

Cheers that's as I thought, hadn't thought of losing more than one tooth, I guess that could be useful at times but I think it'll just be one as that's what I've got lying around.
