I rode the D2 last year on my Bleriot (650B) and had the CDLV's mounted. They were fine but I should add the conditions were dry and generally good. Have since switched to Pari-Motos and much prefer them for the road - not sure about mud. My sense is they would be fine for the D2 but I can't

I like the double cog in the rear, too. I think the chainline is better, and the axle doesn't move in the dropouts. As you get bigger tires and fancier fenders, you lose a lot of adjusting room. I use a 17x21 dingle fixed cog, and I have some different cranks with 40x44, 38x42, etc. The 32x21 was

One thing i've noticed is that people really like to keep the amount of wheel movement to a minimum, either by taking advantage of small teeth changes in the rear only, or keeping the front spaced really close together. It makes me think that maybe switching to a single ring up front would make

I agree; I don't see the point of two rings on a ss/fixed (so called) unless you want more than two ratios or if you want really big gaps, say a high range for pavement and a low range for off road, with small axle movement. You get a lot more variation for each tooth by increasing or decreasing
