--- End quote ---
No real cons unless you have warranty left on the frame, less chance of pinching on grinds, neater and out of the way for pegs, drop in weight (not too significant unless its an old sta500 or something) less leverage for twisting backend if you land on the drop out/
weedbix:
The range ofc is lower
But if you don't care about that then you're golden. You actually only need about 3/8" (or 1/8" if you are happy to commit to half links) as the next position after the 4th (1t = ~1/8") would be 1/2" from front of dropout slot and therefore you could just remove a link
1 tooth difference = ~1/8" difference in wheel position in dropout slot
1 half link = 2 teeth = 2/8" = 1/4"
1 full link = 4 teeth = 2 half links = 4/8" = 2/4" = 1/2"
Maybe go for 1/2" though to allow for chain 'stretch' and/or not having to slam on certain tooth quantities
Oddity:
Front brake cable? Odyssey Linear or just the cheap slic cable they offer?
Zoidberg:
Thanks for the trimmed dropout feedback.
Does anyone know where I can get the 17mm socket head bolts (as opposed to the 14mm/ 9/16'ths) ones for my marmoset in da uk?
tecnic1:
Will the Sunday Seeley peg sleeves fit on Pleg 2 inserts?
Are the Seeley pegs the "4.5 inch plegs" that were rumored a few months (years? I can't keep track of time) ago?
