I ran 32-17 starting last winter, now on 32-16 as I'm stronger and fitter!

Are you saying I'm unfit?

Are you, are you, hey, are you starting summink!

:LOL:
 
I run 36:16, always have done. Single speeding doesn't feck your knees though or mine would have been goosed by now! When it gets tough to pedal - stand up. Sitting and doing the slow motion mashing thing is what can fook 'em if you're prone to that sort of injury.

:D
 
Been out on it this afternoon for 32 miles, relented and put the rear crud catcher on, even though I hate 'em I hate getting a muddy @rse even more. :LOL:

What ratios do you lot run to avoid tensioners?
32 16 on saracen. Axle isn't perfectly in drop outs but it hasn't slipped yet. 36 16 on khs chain is a little slack but i'm using ss specific ring sprocket and again. No slipping. I listened hard to perry's advice and have to agree that chain line and full depth teeth are more important than tension.
