So yeah, should be no problem taking up 8mm of movement for 2 teeth. If you have a rear brake you will need to move the pads as the center of the wheel arcs around.
Thanks. I've read a lot of his site but guess I missed that detail. Yeah I've already had to adjust the rear brake a bit for single speeding, nbd.

If you want to flip it, just get a crank/chainring set up that splits the difference. Either way you are off a few mm but the sun will rise.
Srlsy - I obsessed about this stuff a few years ago when I started riding the ENO. Eventually I forgot about it and just rode the hell out of it.
Excellent! That's what I wanted to hear. (Although it still baffles me as to why they chose this setup.)
My middle chainring is 45mm so I think that should be ok. It'll be between 2.0-2.5mm off.
