sorry i saw your querstion about the goodridge,to be honest i wouldnt bother,my bud has them on the same brakes i do and they aint much better.

might be stronger but for power you really cant tell a difference.

i don't have them yet but they are many times better than the plastic normal lines.But they are pretty expensive but well worth it since goodridge is best.In moto and car racing scene they are using them as well

yes, definitely, and if you're too cheap for now, removing 1-2 links off your chain may do for the time being. trials dudes run a REALLY short chain - look at their cages, they're pulled all the way up, and they don't need chainguides. ex. search jeff lenosky and dylan korba "what the pros ride".

thing is, i don't know if that has any adverse affects on the derailleur lifespan or anything, but i doubt it. the additional chain tension shouldn't make it any worse for the wear on the chain, as SS setups run even more chain tension.

if you go the short-chain, stretched-derailleur route, expect crappy, clunky shifting but chainguideless joy (and therefore, less weight).

i propose two solutions:

1) singlespeed (obviously)

but 2) is not so obvious: try taking 1-2 links out of your chain - it should run the derailleur cage closer in, giving you more clearance and chain tension. it'll shift crappier but it'll give you more chain tension. using sram derailleurs also help enormously.

and another obvious point in case you missed it: tune your drivetrain, and make sure you don't have stiff links, and stuff like that.
