Oliver Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 Greetings! Bought an Alivio Chainwheel & new BB & a Deore Front Derailleur. Guy at the bike shop said it would work and it does... but barely. There's allot of scraping... Any ideas? Was he smoking his socks or will it work? GOt an 8-Speed SB Alpine.
AndreZA Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 Where is it scraping? Mine also scrappep if I were on the middle ring and the last 2 rings on the back. It got less when I changed to XT but is still there. Look in the instruction pamphlet, they say it is common.
lowracer Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 stupid silly question ... did you install the fd and set the screws properly?
Oliver Posted June 2, 2008 Author Posted June 2, 2008 ye i know... that's the strange thing. i sat with it for like 3 hours on sat night and basically have the same problem as you... scrapes on the smallest ring and the largest... annoying!
Oliver Posted June 2, 2008 Author Posted June 2, 2008 basically, i installed it and it had this epic little sticker that tells you how high it must be, did that, attached the cable and set the screws.
Oliver Posted June 2, 2008 Author Posted June 2, 2008 i also need to mention that after getting it as good as i could, my chain snapped yesterday??? wtf. lol.
Oliver Posted June 2, 2008 Author Posted June 2, 2008 err... umm... also need to mention that the BB i had with the SR SUNTOUR crank was apparently too short for the Alivio as it requires a 110mm BB... I checked this and the original BB seemed to be 110mm??? LOL? so i left it the wat it was and the chaincheel appears to fit exactly the same as the suntour one. even the dimensions are the same??
