Hi,
I'm wondering if there is anyway to find out what "magic" combinations of
chainwheel/sprockets that would yield exactly the same chainlength, but
different gear ratios.
I want the easiest, no-fuss gear-inch change possible (when flipping over
the back wheel) and the means no fiddling with chain length (which would
mean fiddling with tire/fender clearance as well as brake/rim alignment
[unless I had the "magic" angle on my rear-dropouts, which I don't. b.t.w.
what exactly is this magic angle and how can I get a bike with it?]), but
moving the chain to another chainring up front is no problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
J.
