What's wrong with the chain...too long now lol.Just get a chain breaker tool and take a few links out.When my Taska freecoaster that came stock on my 2010 DK Opsis crapped out on me I upgraded to a KHE Geisha Light freecoaster laced to a KHE Big V rim.This took me from a 28t sprocket and a 12t driver to a 28t sprocket and a 9t driver so from a 2:1 gear ratio to a 3.11:1 gear ratio.All I had to do was remove 2-3 links from my stock chain and it fits perfect...depending on how short or long you need the chain you may need a half link but I think you'll be able to get away with out one like I did.
Anyone know which chain tensioners i should use for the opsis? Or how i can figure out which ones are compatible with the bike.

Or how i can figure out which ones are compatible with the bike.I just use an old brake shoe spacer. I wedge it in between the dropout and the axle. works great, doesn't weigh much and best of all, its free. You don't HAVE to use a brake shoe spacer, just use whatever fits
Hey guys, i'm knew here.I'm trying to get into Flatland, and have been for atleast a year now, never really made the move though, so this is the time. I'm looking to go for this bike http://www.flatlandfuel.com/index.asp?pageaction=VIEWPROD&PRODID=1590 As I live in Ireland, i'm not sure if they deliver here (Anybody know?) and if they do, wouldn't it be quite heavy on the shipping fee? If they don't deliver here, does anybody know any place that does?

Flatland Fuel has a shipping page with some basic rates but you might want to PM Patrick and see what is possible for shipping. I ride the same bike, so far no complaints other than the brake pads and grips. Good luck Flatlandfuel shipping page: http://www.flatlandfuel.com/index.asp?PageAction=Custom&ID=1PM Patrick: PSchoolen
What parts on the Opsis would you immediately switch out for lighter ones? I may be putting this on a different frame but also would like to get light in a smart way i.e. budget minded. Would it be worth going crazy with a hollow titanium crank spindle? Would the opsis cranks even work on a ti spindle? lolI've already got planned to get a lighter seat and maybe even a sprocket but just wondered opinions before I make the move
