G00SE Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Blue does not fit with my red and black theme. maybe spey paint?? would need a coat every wash or so. lol, ill just have to wait for now. Blue doesnt go with my white and red scheme, but then again my gold stem doesnt really go either... Oh well

Daniel J Méssem Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 (edited) 30t?!?! Is it for your daughter's bike? Nope, your mom asked me to get one for her Edited October 3, 2013 by Daniel J Méssem
Daniel J Méssem Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 I ordered a red RaceFace narrow wide 32t from BuyCycle to try out on my hardtail, only the box arrived without the chainring (but with other items I ordered). Turns out they made a mistake and didn't order it, and now the supplier is out of stock Does anyone know anywhere that has any in stock?That sucks dude, hope you find one
EVOBIKES ONLINE STORE Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 That sucks dude, hope you find one We have ONE left in blue... Next batch will only be available the end of November!

Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Just curious, would anyone be able to tell me if my chain length is correct by seeing the RD position when in the biggest and smallest rear ring?
Eldron Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Ok so I took le MonsterCross out for a skelm ride last night (don't tell my doctor!). I ramped some pavements, rolled some rocky stuff, traipsed along some dirt paths etc and not a single dropped chain. This on an oooold long cage 9spd XTR RD with no cam - not even a shadow RD! I did make the chain shorter than I normally do though - I took out links until the bottom of the RD was at about 45 degrees forward on the 36-36. Note - you don't need shorter chain bolts if you're going from a 2x10 crank to single - the bolts are already short. Sorry about the pic quality - spur of the moment with a BBerry...

Did your bird join you for the ride? Must say that the all black crank goes nicely with the chainring
Eldron Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Did your bird join you for the ride? Nah - he's just the quality inspector. All he ever says is "Hulk Smaaaaaaaaaaaash" - I hope it's not his opinion of my wrenching work.
Headshot Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 The 36 deffo looks good with 29 er wheels - dont go any smaller in the front. Beware of bumpy trails - I managed to throw a chain with the clutch off. Repeat bumps in quick succession seem to be the problem...
Peach. Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Ordered, should be getting it next week unfortunately no blue available
Sidewinder. Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 Nope, your mom asked me to get one for her That's okay, my other bike IS your mom.
divernick Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Installed on the crank and looking good. Now just waiting for the Zee to arrive from CRC. Steven Knoetze (sk27) and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 2
Headshot Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 I am still amazed at how good the 1x10 set up is and how we have ridden 3 rings for so long not knowing there is a better way. I am setting fastest time on climbs despite the less favourable gearing...If you haven't done it make sure you do.

This is probably gonna start a 50 page handbag slugfest but you're posting better times because you're riding harder not because you dtiched 2 rings. No reason you can't ride exactly the same time at the same effort with the same ratios on a 2x10 or 3x10... Steven Knoetze (sk27) 1
