My mtb bike got ripped off from the front of my house several weeks ago. After a few days of depression ( I had the bike for nine years) I took the 42 chainring off and put the 48 on my fixed. I rode as hard as I could for about an hour. It was great therapy. I averaged close to 22 mph over rolling stuff.
I had been using my fixed mostly to spin and recover from road rides. I usually switch to a bigger ring this time of the year anyway but had not done so. I am going to leave the big ring on and even try the 52 to see what happens.
I have separate chains for the two rings I have now. Is it common to remove and replace links in a track chain to acommodate different size gears or do most people have a chain for each set up?
