32:15
a bit of a fiddle to get it on, but using a Blackspire stinger does work as a tensioner.
the roller is mounted in a slot, to allow for different ring sizes, so i am using the slot for the occasional retensioning of the chain, so i don't have to have the cranks off every time.
works pretty well 🙂
wheel is SO much easier to take out
i prefer 32:18 as a ratio i think, im toying with the idea of getting a 34 tooth ring to raise the jockey above the bash, as its currently sitting a bit low, and will get bashed if i ever resort to using the bash ring to get over logs in my bridleway bashing adventures.
any ideas for a cheap (pref steel) 34t chainring?
anyhoo, i think it looks much tidier 🙂
My sons SS is using the same sort of thing.

Nice one, BB mounted tensioners are definitely preferable from a wheel-out-wheel-in point of view. They don't always take up enough chain slack, but if you can get them to work they are definitely my preference.
