ooooohhhh wait, do you actually run dingles without re positioning your rear wheel? wow, yeah i didn't know that was part of it the whole dingle thing. yeah, that would definitely be pretty cool! so i could do uhhhh.... 39x12 and 34x17?
woah. i mean this is all so hypothetical..... by the time i get enough range of motion back, 34x17 might be like going up a hill in a windstorm
at least in one leg. speaking of which, anyone know how much range of motion is needed for a 6 ft tall person to use 170mm cranks?? i might try to calculate it, but i'll probably fail, because i'm bad at math
in other news, i randomly heard about these dealios

apparently someone has one of these set up on track dropouts? that could be pretty rad!! i just don't understand how you keep the wheel aligned??
