3mm per tooth, according to Sheldon. I have relatively short dropouts so I think I'm limited to a one-tooth difference. (I wonder how expensive it would be to have those long Campy 1010 or trackends welded in there?)

same size. but i never ride the freewheel. i only have it for real long rides, like down the shore. which only happens once a year
|
I made my chain fit my bigger cog first, so that my axle sits as close to the front of my dropouts as possible, and when I switch to my smaller cog its around the middle of my dropouts...

So for people who ride fixed/free, do you have two brakes for when you are freewheeling? Or do you just rely on a front brake or just go crazy fred flintstone style with nothing? I've never had a freewheel on any of my fixed gears but it seems like it might be fun occasionally.
|
I don't ever use a freewheel on my fix because its brakeless, but I have several of other single speed bikes.
|
that's the only reason I never run the freewheel side on my bike, I'm not comfortable at all relying entirely on the front brake to stop.

ok so i apparently didnt know what i was talking about.

My thinking is this, as far as freewheeling is concerned.... Mind as well ride a standard geared bike. :D
