Help me guys. I've spent days trying to turn my mtb into a singlespeed.
The chain skips and makes a loud popping sound if I pedal really hard.
You might say that I dont have enough chain grab in the chain tensioner.
I seem to get more chain grab if I lengthen the chain, but the longer the chain is, the more skipping I get.
Pic rel seems to be optimal chain length and tightness (imo), but it doesn't leave much chain grab for the tensioner.
Info:
>32T in the front, 16T in the rear
>9 speed chain, tried with 7/8 speed chain as well, was even worse
