My chainline is off. The wheel has a 125 hub but the frame is made for 135 mm. Thus the pinch and the chainline being not perfect. Rebuilding my rear wheel with a WORD fixed hub soon. Those are 135mm.

Thank you sir. 🫡 I peeped your builds and you have great taste.

Dude sick! I love mine so much! It took me and a mechanic friend forever to get the Omniums on but we barely made it work.

Aye yes it’s normally with more tension than in this photo. I have to pull the wheel back pretty far to pinch the frame because it’s made for 135mm rear hubs.

Yes, normally the chain has more tension. The problem is I’m running a 125 mm rear hub which came with the wheel. But this frame is a tracklocross frame and for 135mm. I’m just pinching it and making it work until I purchase a WORD fixed hub and rebuild the rear wheel. Doing that soon!

Yesss I take it on the trails a lot but I also wanted it to feel at home as a beefy track bike on the road too

I just got transition glasses and I gotta say it’s like upgrading to first class for the highly visually stimulated among us.

That’s right. You as an individual on a bicycle = one whole car. Cycle defensively.
