The rear derailleur can take up quite a bit of slack, so moving the cranks back a few inches is easy. More than that would require shortening the chain. I used almost 3 full regular chains, and they’re joined with KMC Missing Links, currently spaced randomly along the 14′ length.

If I move them closer to each other, say clustered over a 10″ span, shortening the chain in chunks to suit the max, med, and min positions would be trivial.

“Slade” could also be your tip o’ the hat to that stellar band after whom you used to model your hair…;-)
One question: where is the slack in the chain taken up if you adjust the overall bike length to suit a shorter rider?
