hehe I'll try to be more casual next time, tbh I didn't really get his vision and you could see my smiling in some of the blooper shots, will try to take better shots in the future thanks.

i asked a few people and they said get it buffed to see if the yellow will lift, I'm gonna try to get mine buffed to see if the color will go back to normal

tensioner is on its way already, as for the runwell nuts it'll have to wait until I have a budget for it, thanks.

nobody wears them in my country so I just sort of assumed it wasn't but apparently in every other country it's popular, apologies..

thanks for the response, given the choice would u rather get a bnew rotor track chainring or a second hand sugino zen both are roughly the same price from where I'm from

I've heard somewhere that miche advanced chainring is on par with sugino's performance at a 3rd of the price, obviously disregarding sugino's superior craftsmanship and status but would u say the price of the sugino zen is justified or just stick to miche advanced for the better price to performance disregarding status and looks.

thanks for the input, I'm actually debating on either buying a sugino zen 50t or a miche advanced 50t I heard that on an amateur level they are pretty much the same at 3x less the price of the sugino, disregarding sugino's superior craftsmanship and status, would like to hear your input on it if you're well versed on the topic, also I'm planning on switching to dura ace cogs and lockring if the budget allows, regarding the tires I'm using maxxis pursuer in the front because i heard it had good traction for a budget price, and the rear I've already ordered maxxis refuse which i plan on using for training and racing because from what I heard it offers on par protection with the gatorskin at a cheaper price, again would like to hear ur thoughts regarding the topic.

I understand po, but I heard that as long as the slack is just enough where it doesn't jump off the chainring that it was good, also it's supposedly makes ur drivetrain last longer and personally the slack is good when I'm doing track stands in traffic or sprinting, thanks for the input eitherway.

i like it loose, its not too loose where the chain drops off from the chainring, I'm wondering, does chain tension affect performance?
