 oh if its a 9 speed hub with a singlespeed converter on its almost definitely chainline, just play around with the spacers until its almost dead cetnre, a half link chain won't fall off easy unless the chains really wonky

 half links are no stronger or weaker than full links, just easier to set up because you can shorter the chain in smaller increments than you can with a full link chain. They are heavier though, a properly put together chain will take a hell of a lot of force to snap so shouldnt have thought either would be a problem if joined correctly.

as for chain skipping off, sounds like the BB/chainring/rear sprocket needs adjusting for better chainline!

 haha not its not ben, 12 pounds is 5kg, if your road bike weighs that much its illegal to race it Wink, 12kg is light though, surprised its not nearer 14..! which is 33lbsish

 will doenst have a point.. he says "a social network site with no copyright"..because i don't put a logo or copyright detailing on it doesnt mean i give up the rights to the photo... its your responsibility to check with me on copyright status. If it doesn't say its copyright free you have to assume that there is copyright on it.

 read the terms and conditions, it doesnt matter where its uploaded, copyright remains property of the author, which is me. If i post a photo on a billboard without a logo it still belongs to me, i retain the rights to the picture regardless of where its published.

 rockshox sektors, 150mm travel (think you can adjust them to 130 and 110 internally but not sure). 20mm Maxle, motion control damping (rockshoxs best damper for the best performance), low speed compression/lockout, rebound adjust. Its also got an air cartridge in the left leg so it can be poumped up for different rider weights..! pretty much the best sektor you can buy

 i cant see a problem with the cable routing going around the bottom.. if you whack it hard enough to rip a hose you'd have likely dented your downtube anyway, the fact its an alu frame sort of point towards the fact that its meant for 4x due to its weight and the fact itll fatigue quicker than a cromo steel frame, but seriously stepup, sort out your spelling! its which!
