Andro Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 (edited) Manufact by Rotor. Rotor cranks with Q rings. Oval type chain ring. Think they are similar to the old Bio Pace of Shimano the used back in 90's. Burry Stander, Kevin Evans and those chaps use them, worth to have alook at. Edited July 7, 2012 by Andro
TheV Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 Ok done! Couldn't line up the chain guide, will have another go some time. Test ride hopefully Monday Wow, that's hot, nice bike NSBB! How's your chain length, looks like you could probably lose an extra link or two?
NotSoBigBen Posted July 7, 2012 Author Posted July 7, 2012 Thanks V You remind me that I should have done it ..... should I just start by taking out 2 and then see how it goes or is there a way to measure the 'ideal' length?
NotSoBigBen Posted July 10, 2012 Author Posted July 10, 2012 Took a spin through Rietvlei this afternoon ...... the good I can ride my 'normal' loop with those gears. Not easy but didn't have to step off even once! The bad - no go without a chainguide, on any 'bumpy' down sections where you not pedalling the chain comes off. Always to the outside for some reason. I have 'spaced' the guide I got from Thug so will try it out again tomorrow if I get a chance .... no way I can get it with no chainrub (either at the top or bottom). Decided to go with very little rub in the 11 since I spend a lot less time in the 34.
TNT1 Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 If it's always on the outside, why not just put a bash ring on?
NotSoBigBen Posted July 10, 2012 Author Posted July 10, 2012 If it's always on the outside, why not just put a bash ring on? Cause I had a guide but not a bashring .... it is clearly an option!
TNT1 Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 it is clearly an option! That, or sort out your chain length and gear settings...
