Anyone running double double dingle. Two up front and 2 on either side of hub at rear.
Sounds like gears without mechs :/
Why double double at the back? Fixie and freehub? Problems with chain length otherwise surely?

Fixie and free wheel capable. Chainlength isn't an issue. Just carry some half links and other stuff. This is a world tourer with nothing to mess with. Amazing. 135 up front too for ultimate breakdown reasurance.
I've done it before, Worked a treat.
34 - 16
32 - 18
Just dropped the wheel out and swap over. No need to adjust chain tension.
i did it as a slicked commuter/weekend off roader.
cant remember the exact ratios but they were something like 32/17 and 38/13. the maths was a few teeth out but because of the bigger circle of the large chainring it took care of the slack so no adjustment was needed.
