My third MFG race was disappointing, as I mentioned earlier. The results are in, and while I didn’t finish, I was the first to not finish, which put me 24 of 43. Compared to 35 of 50 and 33 of 39, that feels like an improvement. I dropped a chain again too. I did finally find a a Rohloff, but it doesn’t fit my clearances. Chain guards appear all to require a further step down in chainring, which wouldn’t be terrible, but I’m almost wondering now if it’d be simpler to just run a double with no derauiller and stick to the lower chainring, using the larger one as the guard. Granted, it wouldn’t look cool at all, but hey, I’m riding a 1985 Schwinn anyway. Go team oldschool beardo. Always nice seeing friends from other scenes in new ones too.
