Default new chain, slack

See your local LBS:

1/2 x 1/8" chain.

Classic road & track ends allow axle movement
to correct chain length for wear and tension.

Single point ends are for use with
derailleurs or other chain tension devices:

Some riders end up with a single-point frame
and want fixed or CB. ('want' but usually not
enough to pay us to change the ends) A small
increase in the slot size can make enough
difference. Just did one like that on Sunday.


Very clever! And very educative, thank you.

See guys? Track ends and CBs are ultimately the
best, as I've said all along
