Would you guys recommend buying an extra chain so that I can just swap my entire chain out each time I flip the hub (assuming the primary chain won't be able to accommodate both), or just remove chain links on one chain and use it for both gear settingS?
I can flip between a 15 and a 18 cog on my 08 Fuji Track Pro without any problems. The 18t is right against the inside of the drop out and the 15 lays just past mid-line towards the open end of the drop out. Not the most ideal wheel placement for racing with the 15t considering the aero-cut out, but it gets the job done.
