Agteros Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 (edited) Discovered the past week that I have a special Cape Flat edition chainring The Passion Gapped Ultegra chainring Was quoted a pretty penny to have it "repaired" back to 'normal' (replaced) Edited October 7, 2012 by Robo-Ox Lexx 1
Big H* Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 Did you bump, knock or scraped it on summting????? Those them thar things do not break for nuffing
Agteros Posted October 7, 2012 Author Posted October 7, 2012 Think it was a bump Pavement at one specific spot it all I can think of, but can't recall it happening
DJR Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 You've been chewing on it? Quite common to see it on the big ring of a Mtb. Usually from going over rocks and bumping teeth. Works just fine like that, simply file off sharp edges and tell your mates it improves your shifting.
TNT1 Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 Think it was a bump Pavement at one specific spot it all I can think of, but can't recall it happening Whoa, guy, Ultegra is a road gruppo. Did you hit the chainring on the kerb? If not, how old is it?
Agteros Posted October 7, 2012 Author Posted October 7, 2012 (edited) Whoa, guy, Ultegra is a road gruppo. Did you hit the chainring on the kerb? If not, how old is it?reasonably new I suspect a kerb getting across Bompas road into Melville road. Will have to practice stopping, dismounting, picking up bike, placing on pavement and pushing to other side, picking up and putting down on road before I carry on riding!

Agteros Posted October 7, 2012 Author Posted October 7, 2012 Wasn't too bad an impact; chainring got bumped, rest of bike is OK. Will fix the chainring up, and go riding again from Tuesday. No weird noises, behaviour etc on the two long rides + Jozi Challenge the last few days. Willing to state bike is A-OK!
