murph82 Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Hi About to fit the set up as said in title, question is, probably only 50% or so of the freewheel thread screws on to the crank as the bashguard limits it, are these cranks actually mod cranks so have a shallower thread? I bought them second hand so didn't have any fitting instructions or anything. Probably about 5 mm of thread screws on, is that enough? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John - Hynes Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 I would suggest not. How many threads are holding it on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murph82 Posted November 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 sorry for long wait on reply, probably about 5 and a bit. Have measured the thread and that is 12mm deep, my uci ring is 5mm so therefore i'm figuring 7mm contact. The spline for removing is actually very very close to the crank so couldn't go on a great deal more anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck up a pic, might help the people in the know get more of a clue of whether you're going to lose teeth or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murph82 Posted November 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Hi, some pics of the cranks showing the the thread depth i have to use and stuff, tarty says 7mm is enough on other tensile cranks, its 7 here i think, thread is 12mm and bashguard is 5 so 7 makes sense?

AdamR28 Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 That's not enough thread unfortunately - 7mm is pretty much bang on 7 threads, you only have 5-5.5 there You could JUST manage it with a Trialtech Ti bashring as they are 2mm less thick than the Tensile ones.

murph82 Posted November 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 managed to get it professionally turned, it looks very shiny which is good as I can see the reflection of my smiley face as the guy did it as a favour! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
