I posted pics of my new SS when I had a Singleator running in pull-down mode... Well I was messing with gear ratios on my SS and found that 34:17 let me run my Singleator in push-up mode, much nicer. THEN I found out that I could run 34:18 with no tensioner at all, OH YES!! I should also be able to run 32:16 and 36:20 (in the mail).
Spurred on by that success I put some knobblies on and went for my first off road ride, 20 miles of gravel roads, doubletrack and singletrack that goes up and down the valleys around here. I had to walk a couple of hills but I had a great time, offically addicted to singlespeeds
Here's the latest pic:
