Soooo, 13st Ross, would be able to put a hell of a lot more force through his chain, than say me, who is 9st or whatever, work it out.

JonPace Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 (edited) but you might have stronger legs.. or be able to come off of a line quicker than a 13st lad.. thus putting more stress on a chain ← 'generally' no though because even if someone is 13 stone and less muscular than someone else who weighs less the 13 stone person will still be putting more weight(force) onto the chain than the muscular skinny bloke.
