Very nice! How did you manage to get perfect chain tension without a tensioner?

 

[clockworkgazz]

lots of messing, trial and error and swearing, that's my normal modus operandi

Found that 36:17 and a wee bit of chain stretch is perfect for this frame.

What ratios do you lot run to avoid tensioners?

 

[clockworkgazz]

for me it is 36:17 but I suppose it is frame (make/model/size) specific non?

 

[Pickle]

Thats a fairly hardcore ratio Gaz :shock:
