Ive managed to sort the chain line problem i ran into the other week, but now the tension is the problem.
I tried simply adkusting the length of the chain but this turned out to be uselss with my semi horizontal dropouts not providing enough movement. Because of this I bought a cheap chain tensioner (on a bit of a tight budget!) to try and over come this problem. I thought this would sort it out but when I apply larger forces on the pedals the chain seems skip teeth on the freewheel. I dunno if this is a common problem or not but is there any quick fixes???
Im currently running a 44 chainring with an 18 freewheel, could changing the ratio be the way around my problem???
Cheers
