KeefyB, did you need the special tool for the tsbukai chain or is there another way of fitting it?

Psychlist, already decided today to go 2 teeth up on rear sprocket. Pretty much for the reasons you mention. Also it would be not quite a severe lowering of the gearing. Would probably make it just right. I assume 2 extra teeth on rear would mean to get a chain with 2 extra links over standard?

Had a look at front sprocket and its started to hook but rear looks fine. But while I'm at it I may as well do the lot and sort the gearing out.


My little gearing chart

Front Rear Ratio

15 42 2.80 Standard
15 44 2.93
14 42 3.00

15/44 seems best bet. Not as severe a drop as 14/42 but should improve things.
