Waddy Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 (edited) seen that done before, cant remember where and it was aages ago, i tried it on my mod but it just kept falling out , i did find a place that did rubber cogs in the right pitch and width to run on a mtb chain so it would keep the tention like a sprung tentioner, but i never went any further with it Edited February 13, 2007 by wad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Good old phantom gear... death on a trials bike! The amount of chain stretch you get when gapping tends to make it fall out...Great for normal MTBs though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe b Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 The amount of chain stretch you get when gapping tends to make it fall out...Just what i was going to say. Also, i suppose it would knocked a fair few times on failed sidehops or on natural etc.Seems very cool and definately very individual !Cheers,Joe.

darrenhopper Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 That's bleedin' mad. I might consider it on a town bike or a commuter but surely it would be suicide on a trials rig?I'd spend my days waiting for the ring to collapse in on itself & send splinters into my legs just as I piled my knees into the steerer & took a wander off over the bars to taste some of whatever I was riding on. All that said, I really wanna give it a go to see how it looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
