planet x alan Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) Hey guys, been running this frame for not long now and i've had my super pro burns on. Had to get rid to run a larger chain and went with 18/15, to get the chain tensioned the wheel is pretty much as far back is it will go and the brake set up is so shady, I'm having to angle the slaves as much as they will not adjust down any further. I can just manage to get the chain on with the rear wheel as far forward as it will go but it's that little bit too tight. Is there a ratio that was widely used with these? I assumed it would of been 18/15 but obviously I'm wrong. Cheers edit: Also had this problem with the burns.. 16/13 or 16/14 I was running there, but had to lose the burns as the arms were a bit too close to the chainstays for comfort.

Mark W Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Ideally you need 18:16 for that particular frame. Not ideal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planet x alan Posted January 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Ugh, that's too light for me. I guess I'll modify my rohloff to fit the chain then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 What chains have tried ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wally Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 I run 18:15 on my echo control 09, like you say the wheel nearly sits out of the back of the dropouts and the magura cylinders are never hitting square to the rim because of the position of the wheel. I milled out my brake clamps so that they would drop further, its a little better. Quick question, are most people now running 18:16 on these sorts of frames? Is it work me trying a 16t sproket on the back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
