Brass-Pie Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 I'm building up a Planet X Zebdi out of some spare/donated parts. I'm gonna have to buy a new pair of cranks but I'm really struggling to find any one who stocks a crank or bash ring that can take and 22 tooth chainring. I was hoping to keep the cost of the cranks around a ton with a pair of try-all cranks a tensile bashring and a 5 bolt 22t chainring. But everyone seams to be struggling to get tensile stuff at the moment, and checking out most shops websites everything else only goes upto 18 tooth . I've even looked at Middleburn cranks but again no-one has 175mm isis in any colour in stock. I've been out of the trials game for a while, it seams like bmx everyone is going over to micro-drive drive chains.Can anyone give me some suggestions?

Scott Gibbs Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 I would check ebay mate, i bought a pair of truvativ hussfelts and bb for £15 off a mate then couldnt find a bash ring to fit. Then looked on ebay and found a brand new dmr ring thing for 20 quid so cranks and bash guard and bb for 35 quid so my advice is search ebay!

Muel Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Why do you want 22t anyway? It's been superceded, everyone runs either 16 or 18 on the front now. (Unless they're running burns).I use a 16t TI bash on my middleburns with a 13t on the back, tis perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man said hes buildin an old school zebber and a 22 is best for old school rigs! I think blackspire still make em. As do middleburn and tensile. But ur right 18t up front is more popular nowadays.

But ur right 18t up front is more popular nowadays.I never said obselete, I said superceded, which I took to mean that there is a new standard now, so they are hardly ever used because there are more 18t and 16t parts available.Why is 22t better for old bikes? I'd still use 16:13 if I built one up, they're smaller so they clear over stuff better and they're lighter and look much cleaner if you ask me.

(Unless they're running burns).I use a 16t TI bash on my middleburns with a 13t on the back, tis perfect. I've been riding BMX and Downhill for the last few years, and I work in a bike shop and Im fed up with all these micro-drive drive-chains they only increase stress on the chain make your parts wear out quicker and generaly make you pedal like a granny. I've thought about running a 18:12 because I like harder gearing, What I realy want to do is run a 22 up front and three surly cogs on the rear 18-15-12 with a cheep sora on the back. Then at least I can ride across town with out getting peed off with the bike and throwing it at the nearest chav.Earl I will be pming you.Krisboats thank you for upgrading me to the realm of coolness!!!!!!

Mikee Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 (edited) Tensile used to do a screw-on bashring with a 22t chainring bolted on to it. I think they have only just stopped selling them. I've been running one for about a year now and they seem to be ok. So If you can find one I would reccomend one.
