DubbelBuys Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 (edited) I've recently aquired a Cotic BFe frame & want to build it with a single crank so I would like some of you single blade riders' input. Which would be good value for money cranks? I looked at the Shimano Zee, but I was hoping to find something a bit cheaper. I do have a chain guide fitted, but can remove it as I want to go with a SLX clutch RD. Thx. J Edited July 27, 2013 by DubbelBuys
Thug Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 Why not use a normal SLX/XT double chainring crank and remove the outer chainring?
shaper Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 Any crank will do with a single chainring, you just need short chainring bolts as you will be only running one chainring
braailegend Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 Rather not remove chainguide I have single saint on my enduro bike and SLX with washers for single blade on my OnOne hardtail. Both nice cranks, but Saint is just absolutely awesome and porn
DubbelBuys Posted July 28, 2013 Author Posted July 28, 2013 Thanx for all the replies! I had too much of an itch yesterday & built it up to be 3x10 (for now) @ Thug: Isn't the inner ring (even if 28T) going to be way too small? @Shaper: Single ring with bash then? @ Braailegend: Wish I had the moolas for a decent crank like the Zee, but my Shova recently ruined (in a good way) my budget I had for cycling. I heard the single rings like the wolfrings can be run without chainguide when paired with a clutch RD. Well I do have the chainguide, so might as well use it when going single crank

Flowta Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Yes, the 28 will be too small but you can get 32 tooth that will fit. 32 tooth on the middle

EVOBIKES ONLINE STORE Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Wolf Chainring with no guide on 104BCD Cranksets... Alternatively FRM Single Chainrings on 104BCD Cranksets but have to use chainguide.
DubbelBuys Posted July 28, 2013 Author Posted July 28, 2013 Can use a bash guard and should I would have gone 1 x 10 Would like & will probably soon... (maybe not that soon)

shaper Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) Does the 3x10 shimano cranks have 104BCD?If going single chainring then 104 is the middle ring and fits a shimano crank, and go 11/36 cassette Edited July 28, 2013 by shaper
EVOBIKES ONLINE STORE Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Does the 3x10 shimano cranks have 104BCD? Yes they are 104/64 BCD Cranks so Wolf will fit or FRM.
