Eedubz Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 I didn't mean a shuttling service, I want to know if we can get our own vehicles in there, or if there are any roads that lead to the top in that area? What about Spanish Farm? I hear there is a dirt road tot he top but there is a locked gate at the bottom. Any idea who to speak to about that gate?
speshie Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 hey panik did you get the wheels i havent heard back from you lol?
Panik0703 Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 what? i dont know what you are talking about spesh?
speshie Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 sorry my mistake.. nolipoli bought the wheels
darnijl Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 HELP!I ordered this chainguide http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=1040 5-Bolt CD Black 38-44t Right. Now the bashring on that won't fit my crank (my crank is 4-bolt)(yes, stupid mistake) So I ordered this bashring http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=12167 4-Bolt 104mm 40t White But ...now I see the Chainguide is "CD" which means Compact Drive, right? And the bashring is 104mmm How do I know my crank will fit the guide and the ring?? Does the CD on the Chainguide refer ONLY to the included 5-boltbashring (which I'm not using anyway, so it's cool, cuz my new bashringis 104mm which'll fit) ? Or does CD also refer to the chainguide...??? It has something to do with the crank's fitting right? Help!darnijl2009-12-30 15:16:59
Capricorn Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 ?I think CD stands for circle diameter. as the size is normally quoted as BCD or Bolt Circle Diameter. CRC just abbreviated the latter portion .As long as the new bashring covers the same size chainrings as the blackspire bashguard would have, you are good2go. So since the new bashguard can cover chainrings up to 40T, and the blackspire up to 44T, i reckon you are golden. ?Bashguards are measured up against chainring sizes and their bolt holes. So it dont matter which bashguard you choose, as long as it has the correct number of bolt holes as your chainring, covers the size of the chainring , that is 36T,40T etc, and your chain device can accomodate the size of the chainring as well (that is the bashguard fits within the chain device), then you are good.Capricorn2009-12-30 15:30:23
DownhillingKing Posted December 30, 2009 Author Posted December 30, 2009 Cap how much will you offer for the hub
Capricorn Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 we might have to haggle a bit, but I would start at R1k
DownhillingKing Posted December 30, 2009 Author Posted December 30, 2009 okay cool let me wait till the wheels arrive then you can see the hub
Capricorn Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 line up other contenders, just in case i bail murray. January is traditionally a rough month financially
DownhillingKing Posted December 30, 2009 Author Posted December 30, 2009 well if you started eating salty cracks now you won't have to bail
Capricorn Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 lol... almost there. gimme a few more days jeez. i hate beginning of the month salticrax.

(CRC Screenshot) I heard STD is for DH and most 26" bikes, bt then CD is for BMX cranks...?Oh well, I already ordered, maybe I should just wait ad see
DownhillingKing Posted December 30, 2009 Author Posted December 30, 2009 put a little butter on them makes them taste way better
Capricorn Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 thanks for that Daniel . Following on that, i found this from Sheldon Brown Compact Drive (MTB triple)A system of using smaller-than-normal sprockets front and rear. This has the advantage of saving a small amount of weight, improving chainwheel clearance for mountain bikes, and perhaps making a slight improvement in shifting. This is done by going to a smaller bolt circle, typically 94 mm/58 mm or 104 mm/64 mmBCD The downside of compact drive is significantly reduced chain life, and decreased interchangeability of parts. I consider compact drive to be a very bad idea for mountain bike use, but it seems to have become ubiquitous. For mountain bike usage, compact drive typically uses 22/32/42 tooth chainwheels as opposed to the 48-38-28 or 46-36-24 used on earlier mountain bikes. The original mountain bike cranks were mosly 5-bolt 110 mm/74 mm BCD. "Compact Drive" cranksets usually use the 94 mm/58 mm BCD 5 bolt, or 104 mm/64 mm 4 bolt cranks, as opposed to full size systems that have 24-28 tooth lows and 46 or 48 tooth highs on 110 mm/74 mm BCD cranks. source whilst my definition of CD was just rubbish , the rest still stands: if the holes on the new bashguard line up with holes on your crank, and if the bashguard fits within the chain device, you gonna be fine.?Capricorn2009-12-30 17:42:07
darnijl Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 okay cool, so the compact drive was referring to the chain guide's bashguard. My new one will fit. Thanks cap!
