Alex Dark Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Basically...got some new tensile cranks and tensile FFW...im worried about my freewheel and chain getting smashed...So should i get one? If so, which one?http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?id=7orhttp://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?id=583( the reason i want the czar and none of the other deng's is because its red :$ ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycholist Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Those two bashrings are designed for different cranks. The Tensile one has splines on the hole for the crank while the other doesn't. If your cranks have a spline to match the splined one get that (This is probably the case given Tensile make both). The unsplined ring may not fit over the splines on your cranks - it may also be thicker at its base, so even if it fits it may leave less free threads for the freewheel to thread onto, moving the chainline inwards and risking overloading the crank threads.If you use your bashguard a lot the Tensile one may not be up to the job though as it's a UCI style ring and not intended to be landed on too hard.

Alex Dark Posted January 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Im using the old tensile cranks without the splines ( the optimums ) both bashrings will fit, and there's only 1mm difference between them ( thickness ) and they're virtually the same weight...i want the czar really but im just checking to see if there are any flaws in it...or if the tensiles are drastically better in any way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
