Tiny K Posted August 3, 2011 Share clever stuff...... but surely it can only work until you have adjusted it to max? (but by then your chain would be lekker stretched) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted August 3, 2011 Share Me too.Would mean a clean and simple SS conversion to any HT frame. Anyone tried this ..........."Ghost" or "Phantom" ChainringSimple and effective. Do you have old chainrings laying around? It may take some experimentation, but you'll likely find a setup that works for you. Larger chainrings and/or moving the ghost chainring closer to the rear cog/freewheel will give you more tension. The main thing to watch for with this setup is chainstay clearance with the ghost chainring. Chainring bolt spacers (~2.5mm - 3mm) can be added up front to move the chainline inboard a little for additional clearance. The setup shown uses a 32T drive chainring, 32T ghost chainring, and 18T BMX cog. NOTE: The ghost chainring does not need to be the same size as the drive chainring. Another benefit to this system is that you should be able to run fixed gear with this setup, whereas you can't with spring-loaded chain tensioners. http://www.mtbr.com/channels/mtbreview/images/ssfaq/ghostChainring.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Drongo Posted August 3, 2011 Share http://www.forwardcycle.com/ I know I want one of these!!!! What I REALLY like is the fact that they have gone for standard bearings, and not some "buy-from-us-only proprietary nonsense like some manufacturers. Very neat. Now we await the $$$$.

Grebel Posted August 3, 2011 Share What I REALLY like is the fact that they have gone for standard bearings, and not some "buy-from-us-only proprietary nonsense like some manufacturers. Very neat. Now we await the $$$$. According to the website $182,50 incl shipping if you don't have a Truvativ setup... and they don't have stock.
