Alpinestars Alpine SS

Excellent project!

What are you using for chain tension? I assume "close enough combination + horizontal dropouts to pick up the slack"?

And you do realise the backgrounds of your photos offer hours of enjoyment - tell us to focus all you want, but the distractions are too... ummm... distracting. I have a set of those FSA Afterburners!

Thank you.

Yes there's plenty of movement in the dropouts to get the chain tensioned. I may need to use a tug, but also a bolt in front of the skewer would probably be enough.

This won't be used for anything more than flat easy pedalling, so I'm not too worried about it.

It was raining, hence the pic in the shed of shame.

Looks spot on. I had one and ran it as a SS aswell.

So much cool stuff in the "shed of shame"!
