i said half-links, not halflings!

Friday I took the day off to go on a nice ride with King, Fat-Tire (Owen), Alger and Bo (WCoastBo). Bo is visiting from California, where he rips up the trails on his single-speed. He brought home a bunch of SS-specific goodies like cogs and half-links. Half-links are used to overcome the need for a chain-tensioner. They let you shorten your chain in smaller increments...ugh, enough techno-babble!We took a trail that started in Muntinlupa, and eventually spat us out in Dasmarinas, Cavite. It was mostly flat, but still fun!

I tried to put the half-links on the Tingle but it didn’t quite work, so back went the Soulcraft tensioner. I ordered a 20T cog for use on the impending Karate Monkey, but I decided to give it to Andre, along with the half-links, so he can join the reboluSSyon!
Jay also ordered a half-link, and he was able to use it on his Hard Rock, due to a longer chain-stay. It looks clean without the tensioner now. Yay!
