yeah sorry its 24t up front and 11t at the back.....

what i meant is would it be physically possible to fit a half link on a bike with vertical dropouts????

i know they stretch an all so i could fit a tensioner at a later date..

cheers, alex

Yes gearing is fine

You look for about a 2front 1 back

And if you really want a half link chain, I'd look at maybe using a chaindevice for tension, as I doubt you'll be able to cram a half link into a tensioner.

cheers, really dont want a chain device, heavy, ugly and expensive.

might just hope for the best with the half link and get it to fit as well as possible.

If you want to, do it

But I doubt you'll be able to run any kind of tensioner except chaindevice.

Why are you so fixated about a half link? I run a half link, and will change it soon.

If you want to, then just do it. My mate runs a normal chain with no tensioners and a vertical drop out. So if I were you, I'd go for it
