stewie911 Posted May 23, 2010 Posted May 23, 2010 Got my 2x9 setup and first testrun at babbas went well this morning.Don't know why they ever went 3 gears in front. Oh yeah, weight is 708g.
Weight Weenie Posted May 23, 2010 Posted May 23, 2010 Lekker ! So how did they perform and how were they setup ? And the weight, is it real/claimed and what does it include ?
stewie911 Posted May 23, 2010 Author Posted May 23, 2010 It's a 29-42T upfront and I got a 11-34 at the rear. For normal riding I can use 11-32 at the rear, but for races with lots of hills I'll rather use the 11-34. I did 1h19. Took it easy at the start as I was still "gewyn" from last night. Weight is cranks,bb,spacers and 3 other thinner spacers I'm not using.So it's for the complete crankset and it's weighed on electronic kithen scale. Claimed weight is 715 +-10g
steveO:K Posted May 23, 2010 Posted May 23, 2010 That crank wouldn't look good on every bike but it really looks good on your moab ....oh... and kudos for riding the double...i know i can't
stewie911 Posted May 23, 2010 Author Posted May 23, 2010 Thanks crackajack. I've trained myself a bit. I've never used the granny the last two months, but riding a double isn't that hard.
Weight Weenie Posted May 23, 2010 Posted May 23, 2010 Nice, yeah the 11-34 would be better suited most of the time. But Babbas is flat, I want to see how this performs in a hill race like Kgaswane. But I guess we'll see if we do the Isuzu Will pm details later Good weight, mind if I ask cost wise and how is the Qr factor/chainline/shifting ? Im guessing the deraillers must be adjusted, depending where the rings sit in relation to normal ones ?
stewie911 Posted May 23, 2010 Author Posted May 23, 2010 Think it was R2500 shipping and vat inc. Would like to try it on the hills. Rode most of today with the 42T. Shifting is really quick and effortless/crisp. I'm still using a normal deore topswing derailleur. I've just adjusted the limit screws and I'm using gear 1 and 2 on the gearshift. Setting up was really easy. I did it yesterday and didn't even take a testdrive before babbas.

Chris86 Posted May 23, 2010 Posted May 23, 2010 Looks hot! Just be careful of that adjustable crank length insert, I managed to stuff mine up quite quickly when my pedal came slightly loose.
stewie911 Posted May 23, 2010 Author Posted May 23, 2010 Thanks Chris. Will take not of that. I see now that it was about R2300.
