Broomer Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 how does it keep its tension? as in not just slipping in the drop out when you pedal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darrenhopper Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Is it just me or is your chain on the wrong way up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Is it just me or is your chain on the wrong way up?Yeah, it is on the wrong way round.Put a jubilee clip on it too, it'll look a bit untidy but i'm sure the slack chain within the first few minutes will outweight its looks.

Dan6061 Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Do you really need half a mech hanger on there still? Looks like you can just lose it altogether and have the bolts on the frame..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
