John Shrewsbury Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Try a guesset 1/2 link chain, get rid of the tensioner and single speed it up. working great on me inspired atm, and still able to get the wheel out easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Managed to snap it twice doing the same move, kick to 90 degrees to back wheel into drop. Thank god the drop was quite small! I am still alive!
