Singlespeed Without Tensioner: Putting a Narrow Wide Chainring on It

Reviewing a narrow wide chainring on the singlespeed drivetrain without tensioner. The sprocket is 16t and the old chain ring is 32t. The gear ratio is 2. 2 things you need to know about changing to a bigger and narrow wide chainring. From 32t to 38t chain ring, you need to add 3 more links to to chain. The half link won’t work on the narrow wide chainring, it requires to have a complete set of inner and outer links, therefore, it has to be removed. Adding 3 links to chain, for a total of 94 links (47 full links), it is somehow a few millimeters too tight. The gear ratio is now 2.38. Is it too tight? I think it is. Having a tight chain could damage the components such as the sprocket and chain ring. So how is it holding up? From slushy roads to dry roads, uphill to downhill, I’m pretty satisfied with the drivetrain so far. How much can the chain stretch? We don’t know at this point but we’ll get into it in the coming months.
