Daborn Meister Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Righto, my setup is a KO KM1 frame, Trialtech Race 128mm ISIS bottom bracket, Try-All 108.9 freewheel, Echo 6061 Forged cranks and a Try-All Symetrik bashring, here's my problem.. When i set it all up with the bashup, I tighten the bolts and eventually the freewheel is so close to the frame it grinds against it and stiffens up completely, I take the bashring off and the setup works fine? Are there any thinner bashrings, also do not suggest a plate as somebody cut the tabs off... Or any other solutions? I'm puzzled! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexxRogers Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 (edited) Grind down your bashring so it's a little thinner? EDIT: Just had a quick look on Tarty. The Tartybikes bashring is 1mm thinner than the Try-all one, so that could work too. If you look around I'm sure there will be thinner ones about.

Daborn Meister Posted May 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Will 1mm really make all the difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockman Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 This is what I use and it is very small, light and 1.5mm thinner than yours, I have found it really hard to damage it, other than a few scuffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexxRogers Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 With stuff like this, you only need that 1/2mm clearance and you're all set. Trialtech ring does look better though, and you can always grind that down even more to make it fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daborn Meister Posted May 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Note the use of a spacer to get it to work with a freewheel, that's 1.5mm alone.. Do others have this problem then, even when they're using the longest bottom bracket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
