You could also use a single speed/track/downhill chainring with "normal" and longer teeth. I'm pretty sure this would eliminate the need for a chain guide. You could save some weight and get a slightly cleaner look. Just a suggestion... Nice blog!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08523627523822046269noreply@blogger.com
