Miles Mallinson Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 My echo urban bashring never seemed to fit my try all expert cranks, as I put the bashring on it bent slightly into my freewheel, can anyone recommend a good solid 18t bashring.

isitafox Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 Mine does the same with my trialtech cranks, as does my because bashring on my stock. Never had a problem with either to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys you need to grind or file a nice grove for the cranks other wise you'll end up damaging the threads due to the uneven force the bashring is putting on the freewheel. If you put the bashing on mark each side of the crank onto bashring then remove and file in-between the lines to make a channel for the crank to sit in. This will fix your problem and the ring should fit perfecrly square. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ground out a patch about 3-4mm deep and an inch or 2 wide at the outer edge. I found the bashring would twist round when you tightened it on though. So I put a bolt through one of the bashring holes next to the crank to stop it twisting for the first few rides. After that it should be plenty tight enough, then you can just unscrew the bolt.

Miles Mallinson Posted January 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 Cool thanks, I thought it was something to do with the cranks being un-even but the bashring is pretty ramped in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice one bud, honestly if you do what i explained it will be perfect, don't be scared to take at least 2.5.to 3mm depth of the outer part of the bash ring, that bit is the cause of the bashring not fitting. Never had a problem with it twisting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Mallinson Posted January 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 Yeh its a pretty sturdy bashring, you would think echo would put a in-dent for the cranks. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No bending or anything. if you have a urban bash ring then it won't fit trialtech cranks properly unless theres a channel taking out of it. It will work with out but if you look the ring will be all over the placewhen the cracks are spining, if the end of the crank arm is facing the ground you'll notice theres loads of space then face the crank up and its a different story!!
