Stretch Posted August 1, 2012 Share I have a 3x10, is it possible to change the largest chainring for a larger one without changing the other 2 or without other mods?like changing from a 42t to a 44t? - sure you can, but you will have to adjust your front deraileur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ghost Posted August 1, 2012 Share Thanks. All too often I feel that I'm just spinning when in the biggest gear, and I want to go faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smolly Posted August 1, 2012 Share I'm running 2x10 and when I'm quite far down the cassette and change to my big cock/cog my chain comes off.Will a chain tensioner help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted August 1, 2012 Share Yup you can get a little Blackspire Stinger BB mount roller for the 2 blade setup. I run one on my AM bike and haven't dropped a chain yet. They're pretty cheap top, and come in various colours. Search for it on CRC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB mount devices are usually meant to work with external cup BBs. I don't suppose you have ISCG tabs?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted August 1, 2012 Share Any1 ever tried these ,been interested to get 1http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Images/Models/Full/11453.jpg Yup, I used those on my 1st 2 bikes. Work great! Also require external cup BBs though. I have a spare one lying around if you're keen you're welcome to it. It's ISCG OLD, not ISCG 05 just in case you have a specific chainguide in mind. Also, most e*thirteen guides come with the BB mount adapter. Really don't know what those are? ISCG tabs are 3 bosses with threaded holes, positioned around the BB in order to mount a chainguide. There are 2 standard sizes, ISCG OLD and ISCG 05. The difference between the 2 is that ISCG 05 tabs have a larger PCD (pitch circle diameter) They look like this http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2052/3857291200_5102560cd7.jpg and with chainguide mounted http://images50.fotki.com/v1528/photos/5/886335/7678923/DSC_0523-vi.jpg Edited August 1, 2012 by patches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted August 1, 2012 Share RZ one twenty 2011Â Sorry Smolster, the Rize won't have ISCG tabs. Whilst more and more frames these days have them, they're more common on AM, FR, DH, Slopestyle and dirt jump bikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR ◣◢ Posted August 2, 2012 Share I just want to be 100% sure before spending money. I have non IceTech XT centerlock rotors on the SS. Looking at buying Hope brakes.  This should work right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
