    Hello,

    If I know the distance from the centre of the BB axle to the centre of the rear hub axle and the length of one chain link is there a formula I can use to calculate which chainring/sprocket combos will be a ‘magic ratio’?
    Do I need a different formula if I use a half-link?

    Cheers,
    Andy

    magic ratio is a myth it is not a long-term solution. get a tensioner.
