Title: tooth question!
Post by: holwuff on July 02, 2008, 12:24 AM

Hi people, i have been happily chucking stuff at my custom build im doing and as its progressed i have had to go for a gold chainwheel...which then meant getting hold of a diff chain wheel, now i need to tlose the chrome freewheel cos it looks crap, and replace it with a black one. i have a 44t chain ring so would 16t freewheel be ok or not?  :crazy2:

44/16 is your classic mix. Expect shouts of 'look at the size of that chain ring' from the local lads though. Still it gives them something to talk about other than how far they can pull their trousers down their backsides before they actually do fall down.   ???

It surprised the Old Skoolers!!!!   :shocked:
