Haven't ridden it all that much lately since the chainline is about 3mm off and it makes a lot of noise with a 1/8" cog and chain on a 3/32 chainring. Chainline issue should be solved here in the next couple of weeks and I'm hoping that it quiets down. It's a bit embarrassing to have a fixed gear make more noise than a geared bike
Did you ever solve it? I think 1/8" chains are louder than derailleur chains. I suppose it's because derailleur chains designed for flexibility (for shifting).
