Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

And about the chain tension, there's still slack...but there could probably be more. Maybe I'll loosen it.

How loose are you guys running your chains? Go over any bumpy roads lately?

There can still be enough slack in the chain without it being visible.

the general rule of thumb is 0.5" of slack in one direction or the other.

i like to be able to see a little droop (slack) in my chain while at rest. so depending on how hard you pull it up it might go up a while inch or so.

I have a Paul lever, works great and the only inline lever AFAIK that works with v-brakes, which I why I got one. Pricey though, about $100 for the pair. I paid way less.

I love that rolls. I know a guy with a white perforated concor(i think that's what it is) like that and it looks sweet. The perforated ones look badass.
