D A N N Y Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Hey, Im not really that good with freewheels as im used to running a free hub,I have a echo forged crank and want to put free wheel on it just got the cranks and the free wheel,Im pretty sure it had a bash ring on the cranks before.So just asking if i will need to put a bashring back on , or if it will be fine with out one (With out affecting my chain line) also if i have to put a bash ring on is there like a replacement spacer as i dont really want a bash ring on there. Any advise will be helpfull, many thanks, D A N N Y Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 It can run without a bash, but you need something there for protection, plate or ring is your choice.If you don't run a ring, and there's a spacer, use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave! Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 (edited) You need a spacer to go where the bash ring should normally go....Tarty's sell them, only a few squid I think.Just ring em and ask...

Revolver Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Well, you'll probably be best running the spacer.What's on the rear hub, a fixed screw-on thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolver Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 A FIXED SCREW-ON THING rather have advice from some one who atleast knows what a sprocket is I know what one is.The problem with that is, a sprocket comes in a screw on form, and a splined form.So, does it have a sprocket?Doesn't work does it? Of course it has a sprocket.The length of your BB might affect it too, you know. I'd go ahead and presume it will work witha spacer or bashring though.
