Re: [RBW] fixed-free hubs & chain line

2018-02-25 Thread ted 
I have an 1/8" chainring, cog and chain on my SO. 
With the stock BB I experienced some "grunchiness" and observed some odd 
wear marks forming on the chainring teeth.
I replace the BB with a Phil unit and got the chain line as straight as I 
could. It's been great ever since.

I'll be setting up another single speed soon and am considering my options 
for hubs/wheels. Though I've never used a fw on my SO, I'm thinking I may 
want easy flipping fixed / free on the new bike. I like the allen bolts, 
high flanges with cut outs, etc of the Paul hubs, but I'm thinking having a 
different chain line on the fixed and free sides of the hub might not play 
well if I stay with 1/8" chainrings and cogs. On the other hand the fw 
would still be 3//32" so perhaps the chainline being off when I flip to 
that side would be fine.

Re: [RBW] fixed-free hubs & chain line

2018-02-25 Thread Patrick Moore 
BTW, I agree with the others that 3/32 cogs and derailleur chain works more
than fine for fixed and ss applications. What's neat is that you can use,
say, a 10 speed chain for your 3/32 track cog and join the ends with a 8
speed masterlink (all of which I've done).

Re: [RBW] fixed-free hubs & chain line

2018-02-25 Thread Patrick Moore 
I've never had any problems with 1/8" or 3/32" chains, ss chains or
derailleur chains, used for fixed or single fw drivetrains; I've found that
a few mm either way makes no difference.

What do you mean by "particular", in particular? IE, what are the symptoms
or problems you experience?

Is it possible you have the chain too tight?
