Never bothered to experiment to be honest so I’ve been riding as it is. The slack isn’t as major and from the comments above it seems like a “normal” thing to happen.
I’ve been on the track plenty of times since then and also raced a couple of crits and it’s not even noticeable :)
I changed the chainring from 49 to 52 and no difference really. The slack is minor. Still on the same chain though. -

Thanks!
Bagsy has started Hydrotherapy (finally!) and is doing pretty well! Were hopeful that we’ll see good progress from now on while he gets stronger!
Here’s a video of him swimming today.
I’m looking to print some merch (tees and caps).
Do you have any recommendations?
Thanks! -
Got a first physio consultation today and it went really well. Happy with Bagsy’s progress and now we need to get him back on his feet and re-learn how to use gravity..

Hi all,
It’s taken me a while to decide whether I should post here or not, but since dogs and bikes is a fairly common combination, I thought I should share and hope for the best.Basically my dog Bagsy, a 14 year old parsons terrier who was quite youthful inspite of his age until 6 weeks ago, had a spinal stroke which left him unable to walk. He hasn’t been paralysed but the nerve damage affected many parts of his body. 6 weeks later he’s shown some improvement and can turn over on his elbows when in bed and can stand with support but very weak on the rear legs.
Vets wanted me to put him down straight away but given his vitals are perfect and he eats like a pig, I decided to not waste him like that and give him time and the chance to heal.
6 weeks later I’ve been spending money on laser therapy, transport to the therapy centre which is in Hainault, vet visits and medication and daycare, as well as nursing consumables and equipment. Nobody knows how long this will last..bit for as long as both of us can hold up, we’ll keep fighting. He’s the top priority right now.
Tomorrow we’re having a first consultation with a physio and once a small skin infection he has goes away, he will start Hydrotherapy.
He can swim (took him to Hampstead Heath when we had the heatwave a couple of weeks ago) so I’m very positive that he will improve..but it will be a super slow process.
I’ve set up a crowdfunding page and pages on social media to use for advertising, hoping to help support that the insurance won’t cover...which is pretty much everything apart from the vet bills (visits and meds).
So if you can spare a few pounds each, we can give that little chap the chance to get the best treatment and get back up on his feet again.
Sharing all the links below. If you prefer you can also send via PayPal (the crowdfunding keeps a commission of course).
My paypal email is anthivalavani@gmail.com
Thanks all and wishing everyone fab rides with your doggos or without them!🙏🏼🐶🐾🚲
Any unused money will go to the Winston’s Wheels charity who kindly lent us a dog wheelchair to help Bagsy.Crowdfunding page:
