> You mention inch-pitch chains. I have a few friends who have ridden them
on fixed-gear bikes, and swear they feel different. Not like more grainy or
rougher, but a feeling of more direct power being transferred to the pedals.
It made them feel like they were riding better, faster. I don't know if
there's anything to this, or whether it's idealizing a technology from a
golden, bygone era, or what? Anyone have any thoughts on this? I hear
there's a place in California that still makes inch-pitch chains. I'd
consider setting a bike up that way just for the novelty. Like an old
Frejus track.....
