I put a bunch of newly acquired goodies on my Wabi this morning and had it out on a 30 mile run to set up the new seat and seatpost and to check the new freewheel, chain and gearing. When I checked over the new stuff it was all
for 1/2" BMX chain but I had the entire driveline so I went ahead with dumping the 3/32 and moved on to 1/2 chain.
I like to look down and see that sturdy chain and will forgive the slight weight gain. The thing I was mainly buying these parts for was the almost new set of White Industries BMX style freewheels, all unused, a 16T,17T and 18T set,
my new gearing is 48/17 with a new 1/2" chain and it all feels great. The White freewheels are like a watch compared to the $19.00 noisy, off center, freewheel I was running.
note on the 16t WI will only take a 3/32 chain (see link below). what kind of a deal did you get on those free wheels?
