Even if I have to buy a new chain, a KMC or SRAM Chain + a new Salsa Ring still costs less than a new King Cog. My own fault.
Thanks for your help Sixty Fiver. PS. 75 gear inches must be a pain in the rear when starting from a dead stop or climbing overpasses. You are a stronger rider than I.
I'm used to it... my road bike runs 77 gear inches and my path racer (ss) runs 81.
My fixed touring / commuting bikes run a 59/65 and a 65/72 while the fixed folder (used for commuting) runs 64 and 69.
If the weather turns evil I can always ride a bike with lower gearing or more gears and will have a geared winter bike as a backuo to he new fixed gear which will be getting a flip flop hub so I can run two fixed gearings.
