More of a wine drinker but I digress.
My buddy loaned me a singulator so I could build a "free" SS out of my old '94 Merlin Mountain frame. "Free" eventually worked out to about $300 (seat, seatpost, bars, levers, chain, pedals, etc).
First ride sucked. I threw the chain climbing and smashed the hell out of a knee. I was able to ride out but i sure don't want to do that again.
Chainline is right on so I'm hoping I just didn't have enough tension (I thought I had too much and eased it off before the ride...) or the shimano front ring with the ez shifting teeth caused a problem. The chain was actually off the back cog but who knows what happens in the instant everything lets go. Did I mention it hurt like hell?
