OK, going to build up my Steel HT frame as a SS 69er.
Got 445mm rigid forks and 29er wheel and cranks with (I think) a decent 33T ring.
Got an 18T sprocket with spacers, but vert drop out means tension needed.
Was going for SStar jockey wheel tensioner - is there a better (cheap) option? Are the 'rubber wheel' type better than jockey wheel type (Don't have an old rear mech!)
Do I need a special chain?
Going to file down an old outer ring as bash/guide and may leave front mech on (does that help??)
Apologies for all the questions.
I'm not able to grow a beard and not prepared to drink scrumpy.....
The superstar tensioners seem to work as well as anything else ... either type.
Don't leave the front mech on it's not needed.
Don't need a special chain, just shorten what you have.
Enjoy it.
