[RBW] Re: Gettin’ Cranky
Hi Patrick, Thinking out loud here: Is there a problem with chain stretch on your drive train? Perhaps most of your riding is 34T and chain+drive train wears down a bit. You then encounter situation when you need 24T and install (new) 10T chain. Most of your chain is partially worn and you have 10 links of new chain. Will that amount of difference cause a level or low or not-so-low vibration (or grinding?) that might negatively impact your proprioception? Good luck! shoji Arlington MA On Friday, February 15, 2019 at 12:58:32 PM UTC-5, Deacon Patrick wrote: > > Och, Erl! It is a head scratcher, aye?

I have a sugino 5 bolt, hidden bolt, 94bcd crank that you could pair with a Wolftooth 28tooth ring if you want. Comes with BB.

Aye, Shoji, I’ve wondered the same thing and figured experience would answer the question, with the simple answer being to replace all chain when replacing any. Grin.
