Col de Swan

Two day outside in a row felt pretty good. Warm all over the state today and only going to get better.. Coach said that he did a lake loop yesterday and it was good just tricky on the downs because of all the shit. I went out on the single cross just looking for around 20 miles and not getting to far way from home(I had a chicken cooking on the stove and did not wat to over cook it). Good work felt like I could have had a smaller gear the 44x18 spins well it is just tough leaving breck going down hill you always want more. The climb up swan was great 10 mins nice and steady and little bubba factor.. Fliped at the top and down was something else.. I am use to doing this on the road bike hitting almos 50+ mph, today I kept the speed down lots of sand and canti breaks slow you down not stop you.. Back to breck good pace all got my chicken ready for tacos/././.MMMMMM FOOD

Hey Devin - check out this website;

You can calculate the range of gear combinations you can run on your bike without the need for a tensioner. It has the half-link option too. All you need to do is measure the chainstay.
