Played around with gears and chain tension, ya that 50x17 works really well with a SRAM chain. The hub is set forward right now and that chain is just loose. As it stretches out I can rotate the hub back if needed (doubt I will, I want some more slack in the chain any was).

Re, the areobars, I want to ride the as a fixie in some local sprint distance tris, so I'll likely leave them on. They come off in about 1 min each so no worries there. Plus, my focus this year is Ironman Cozumel in Nov, so I do need to do areo time for training. Bike is getting gears back on it before I do that Ironman though.
