bikeperson45 Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Howdy, my left hand crank has been coming loose everytime I ride it so I'm constantly tightening it. My LBS told me it's simply new crank time. Currently they're Middleburns .I thought it would be cheaper to buy a pair of Trialtech Sport forged for the £50, also considering Tarty don't sell single Middleburns. I got them in the post today and took the Middleburns off but because I'm stupid I assumed the bashring would work with the Trialtechs. I haven't touched the Trialtechs so would it be best to return to Tarty? Another option would be getting a new bashring, but I have a 22t and I can only find 18t ones? Any advice? Thanks muchly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun H Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 I'd advise you to ring Tarty on Monday and see if they can get hold of a left hand Middleburn for you. I may be wrong, but I think they have a pretty cushty relationship with Middleburn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Trialtech do a 23t front sprocket, for use with the inspired bashring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Yeah, two options are to either buy a screw on sprocket and a bashring to use with the Trialtechs or find out about getting a replacement for the Burns. I have a feeling Middleburn have a pretty good warranty service so it'd definitely be worth enquiring... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew_coggan Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 (edited) If i was you i would keep the cranks get a bash ring for them and a screw on sprocket. If you look on tarty at the screw on sprockets the Surly Screw On sprocket goes up to a 22 teeth.

isitafox Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Either get them returned and try and source a new middleburn, get an Inspired bashring suitable for 23t sprockets or do what I'd do an just get a new bashring an sprocket, will only be bout £25-35 depending on what bashring you get.
