Re: Best Drivetrain

Craig, I presume by your answer that you are offering to teach this ROOKIE team all the ins and outs of chain usage, particularly #25 vs. #35. Especially, how to use #25 so that it does not break or come unseated, as it likes to do when run improperly.

Look, we're dealing with a rookie team here. This is why we are advocating a "failsafe" approach. If this were a veteran team, we'd go to a "riskier" solution.
