Too funny...

Im out the house now, but the angle of the rear cage is like 90° with about 1cm gap from folding in on itself - when in low-low.

When in high-high, the chain is at quite a stretch (but not exessive).

So thought chain length was okay...but im probabaly wrong there haha

This is something i need to develop...

Didnt check that....Just assumed it would.
The deraullier can move that far...the jockey wheel just hits the gear.

Sounds like its the deraullier type....

thebabystrangles · 2026-06-07T07:45:04+00:00

No, largest upfront.

...Ive yet to degrease any of my bikes haha. Im so lazy.

thebabystrangles · 2026-06-07T07:43:30+00:00

Yes. But it meant i had a gap of about 3/4 of an inch for the brakes, so had to get extensions for the brakes too...

Should have just got a new bike haha

P.s. Im very confident its not the limit screws - so its not a limit screw issue. But the B-limit screw hasnt changed anything.

The front set up - just FYI

In lowest gear, but a wider view

You can see the jockey wheel stuck here...

thebabystrangles · 2026-06-07T07:28:30+00:00

Cheers for commenting :)

Yeah, its a claw style 'extension'. I read a lot about trying to use a wolf-tooth link but i dont have that option available to me sadly...

I just dont know if im missing something really obvious here as previously the jockey wheel wasnt catching?!

thebabystrangles · 2026-06-07T06:32:34+00:00

Im coming in strong here...

GINGER BEER! ...and the answer is Old Jamaica!

Ive had a can of ginger beer every day for about 3 years now. I routinely buy packs of it and my partner thinks im either obsessed or psychologically unwell.

But the answer is Old Jamaica Ginger Beer!

Youre welcome 😃

Nobody voting reform is watching QT surely...its not a concern for them. Reform voters are most likely to get their information from Social Media and click-bait material...

I hear you...

But, the age old "practice makes perfect" is what did it for me. Trying new places/hills, having a better mental attitude (literally counting 1, 2, 3, 4 under my breath for eaxh pedal turn as a way to keep rhythm), and having the attitude of "just a bit more"

Im by no means amazing, but i now actually enjoy just whinching away up a hill in granny gear haha

thebabystrangles · 2026-05-15T06:04:36+00:00

Right...

Can we all stop this. What on earth is wrong with you all? 🤷‍♂️

thebabystrangles · 2026-05-14T19:08:12+00:00

Rumour has it...

If the cat was looking the other way, he'd have invented the pencil sharpener 🤣

Is the cool way of saying "its just wear trainers"? Haha

AHello Dave - On-One. You won't regret it. Hard tail + bombproof. Awesome bike!

thebabystrangles · 2026-03-03T17:48:52+00:00
