Yeah the one bottle cage is really badly made, the mounts were all bent and it looks like it was made on a Friday. Have another one that I am going to replace it with for when I run with 2 bottles.

Got some questions for some of the experienced SS'rs.

 

1) What ss chain do you run / prefer?

 

2) what tyres do you roll with? - is it best to roll with something like 2.2 and bigger? and thats very grippy?

1) - SRAM SS chain - about 170 from Linden cycles - otherwise any 7 speed chain.

2) - 2.35 29" Schwalbe takeoffs off my race bike - provided they don't have sidewall cuts, and WTB Prowler MX's on my 26"

1. SRAM 8 speed chain

2. Nobby Nic 2.35 in front and Bontrager 2.25 at the rear on the 29"

Thanks.

The current 2.0 that I have at the back is pretty useless, but its all I have at the moment, so I need to swap that out asap.

I broke like 5 of those stupid sram chains last year. I hate them. I got a ss chain from Rapide and have had no issues. I run a 2.3 in the front and 2.2 at the back.

 

Was it an 8 Spd? 

 

I have never had an issue with them.. Used them for years!
