Could someone explain to me why chain tension seems to have an impact on the performance of a hub gear.
Neither Alex or spinalot on here are cycle mugs, but both have found chain tension to be critical to making the hub gear work properly.
But I don't get it.
The single sprocket on the hub is on its own bearing and common sense tells me the tension of the chain - in the range we are talking about here - cannot make any difference to the way the hub internals work.
