Headshot Posted October 18, 2013 Share I have just shortened my chain by 2 links on 34 x 10 set up because I managed to throw a chain with the clutch on. Strangely this happened on an itermediate trail rather than the a section of the bumpiest dh track there is in the Cape... a bit of extra tension will probably help calm the chain a bit. I am finding the 34 perfect for climbing amd cruising even on tar dh. Obvioulsy you will spin out sooner, but its quite acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peach. Posted October 18, 2013 Share After all the talk about it I though I should post a pic of the 38T, not that you can see much of it. I don't see what the fuss is, if you cant ride up something in 38-36 then its not worth riding.personally I hate spinning, I would rather push a harder gear. and to add, its the only part I have got locally that I can't get from overseas, no one stocks the 38T Edited October 18, 2013 by Peach.

Lexx Posted October 18, 2013 Share Bit of a Noob Question? I am currently running a 42/34/24 on my Scott 29ER. But Rarely use the 42 or 24t Rings. Can i just take them off and just run 34t Directly as a 1x10? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can i just take them off and just run 34t Directly as a 1x10? you can but its a normal chainring so you may have to use something to keep your chain in place the point of the woolftooth and raceface is the special teeth on the chainring that is designed to keep the chain in place so yes u can but you will have to have something as backup to keep the chain in place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DubbelBuys Posted October 19, 2013 Share I am considering to import a couple of RF NW rings as there isn't any in the country (that I know of). Price is $40.00 - $45.00 before shipping & taxes. Quite a fair amount cheaper than CRC at the moment. Hope bashrings @ $50.00 RaceFace Lite bashings @ $35.00 - $45.00 (depending on size) Straitline bashrings @ $50.00 (I know it's slightly more than CRC, but CRC has very limited sizes) I am awaiting an answer from supplier regarding shipping cost as well as shipping time. Anyone interested should send me PM with regards to size & colour option needed. If there is a shipment of RF NW ring coming in at a fair rate soon I will rather buy before importing.

Lexx Posted October 19, 2013 Share We have ONE left in blue... Next batch will only be available the end of November! Will you get it Black aswell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryanpmb Posted October 19, 2013 Share Thanks for the Advise. Let me shop around for those Chain Rings..Cheapest option will be to drop the two rings and get a guide. A long tooth chainring requires a clutch or type 2 RD. This is assuming you don't have a type 2 or clutch currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a normal X7 RD and haven't had any problems so far.Dont even try without the guide, utter nightmare!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
