also, don't they have TT's that are rolling hill? I assume that you'll be using a standard double crank, with only 1 ring, so what about cross chaining?
Perma-lending is when the friend is kind of a hoarder and also can't be bothered to come up with a price. You should see this guy's basement. I doubt he'll ever want it back but if he does, well, it is still his.
I'd probably get a dedicated 1x crank but I have one chainring on a double crank on my winter bike and it's just a matter of spacing out the chainring to more or less center it.
Thanks for the advice [MENTION=221607]Harlan[/MENTION], I think I'll go for it.
