Och! Aye, Erl. I’ve wondered the same thing. Two temp/condition ranges are
likely especially challenging, coencidentally the same two conditions that are
challeging for clothing: wet and near freezing and below zero F. I doubt boiled
wool and chain tools play well together. Grin.

Patrick,
Thank you!
Curious if there is a temperature or trail condition at which you wouldn’t want
to add/remove chain.
All the best,
Erl

Och, Erl! It is a head scratcher, aye? The plan is to use WolfTooth’s RapidLink
chaintool to add/remove the needed chain trailside. So, with the default Silver
triple of 24/34/44t, I’d have the base length of chain for the 24t ring, add
10t of chain for the 34t ring, add 10t more for the 44t cha
Patrick,
I’ve been following this with interest. I also have no single/fixed speed
background. I was following along with the flip hub concept, but am lost as to
how 2-3 chainrings would work. Chain tool to adjust chain length? Some other
method I’m too obtuse to see that allows you to deal wi
A lot opens up when changing gears involves changing chain length. I just
forgot to reassess all the other pieces to see the simplest solution, until
bumbling into it playing and puzzling here with all you lot! Grin. Thanks!

Right, Joe. Or, even better, the outter ring is high gear of 72”, so no
freewheel required! So, 40, 50, 70 inch gears. All I need! Grin.

Ah, you would have a single granny with the chainguard outboard and nothing in
the middle. I didn't think of that.

You’re right, Joe. That was the question. But in playing with Sheldon’s gear
calculator I realized a triple, which is what I’m buying with a Silver even if
I use it as a single with chain guard, achieves exactly the gearing I want,
with greater ease of gear change, and with flexability to inexpe
I'm confused..are we taking about one small ring like in the Gus photo, or
triples? I thought the question was how to have a prettier version of that
black XT crank.

I assume you are mostly set on “new” cranks for your potential Gus Boots but
you may be able to achieve similar gearing with an older mtb triple with 104/64
4-bolt circles... assuming chainring changes wouldn’t be necessary among your
other frames/cranks (assuming different bolt patterns?) I ha
Well, if 30t really won’t work, TA makes a silver 29t and Wolftooth makes a 28t
1x specific 94bcd ring in black.

O. The Silver 24/24/44 x 18 cog yields 39”, 56”, 72” , with the easy
ability to tweek to 50” if I want. That is very attractive. No cog swap either,
just shift the chain and lengthen/shorten. Silver again, for the win!
Thanks, Kevin. The Mjolnir doo look great! Same issue as the WI though, l
I’ve looked hard at their square taper cranks, Joe, and should have mentioned
them and they are the only others I’ve seen that are in the running so far.
Their smallest chainring is 30t, their largest cog 20t, so that gives me a low
of 44” and a medium of 55”. My current medium gear on my Hunqab
IRD Mjolnir.

Grant said (scroll down to the close-up of the cranks): “TNot a fan of this
look. There are nice-looking ways to do the same.”
What are the nice-looking ways to do the same?

Next Boots build puzzle: cranks. 1x cranks, square taper (since it comes with
those), silver, ideally cold forged, and 26 or 28t chainring.
Current plan: Silver cranks, with chainguard outer, blank mid, wee ring inner.
Other options? Such a wee ring is a big ask. Grin.

Patrick
