The wheelset is old and was cheap to begin with (stock wheel and hub from a $250 1995 Trek) so if it does cause wear, I'm not too worried about replacing it.
I just really didn't want to run a tensioner unless I had to.
Ohhh you're magic gearing it eh? That's a different kettle of fish and pretty hard to pull off. I'd just buy an eno or run a tensioner if i were you.
With all the parts I just HAD to buy to convert what was supposed to be a dirt cheap bike, my wife would kill me if I even suggested such a thing.
