It would seem to me that you actually made a 14FG bike.

Interesting concoction indeed.

I'm still waiting till my bud's "team issue" 1FG comes in from C'Dale to give it a good thrashing...
bikes won;t be in till well after the first race of the season, luckily most of the team members
still have last year's bikes to ride.

Now that's what I'm talkinboutwullis!

Peace, Bill The mind serves properly as a window glass rather than as a reflector, that is, the mind
should give an immediate view instead of an interpretation of the world.

Isn't this a little like cutting off your penis just because some chick in the 7th grade didn't want
to date you?

Chainsuck is primarily caused due to wear on the chainrings, and is most pronounced when a new
chain is added. The inverse is also true. Replacing the entire drivetrain at the same time is the
way to go.

Certain chainsets are more prone to suck than others (Bontrager springs to mind) and it can also be
caused by an incorrect chainline due to incorrect BB length or choice of cranks. IME, a clean chain
and use of a heavier lube will also help.

This site covers it better than most: http://fagan.co.za/Bikes/Csuck/

I'm fully aware of what Belgian winters are like: http://www.j-harris.net/bike/laroche/index.htm

Still think a chainsuck plate would have been a cheaper investment...

CS has several causes, it's picking the right one out :)

again EVERYTHING (sorry for the scream) I had a total cost in 1 year off over 250EUR Well an
investment off 800EUR gave me a Rohloff SpeedHub Last month a had a bike revision and costed me
(change front and back chainring and a new chain) 75EUR ... when using a derailleur these things
costs me 150EUR and I needed 3 revisions per 2 year ... do you have an axcell sheet ready :-D In 4
years I'm break even ;-)
