cardenas_26trials Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Hello everyone, I'm thinking on buying the try-all 160mm cranks but the thing that puts me away is that they cannot be installed with a bashring. Is there a 100% of posibilities that I strip the threads of the cranks using them with it? do you know any case where this has been tested with no problems? also, if there is a strong posibility that i damage the cranks, what may I modify to ride it anyways? thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 You could use a 1-2mm thick bashring, that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR28 Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 160s? Rather you than me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 160s? Rather you than me! God damn it my ring is 3mm wide sexual innuendo intentional. Do you think machining my Echo half ring to 1.5mm width would ruin any kind of structural integrity? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 160s? Rather you than me! I use 165's, is there a difference between the two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence--Trials Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 I use 165's, is there a difference between the two? 5mm i believe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 I use 165's, is there a difference between the two? Yep, quite an important one, hence the original question - the 160s have less thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Wow can't believe I never knew that, I'm quite dumbfounded really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 I have filed my half ring loads today to around 2mm all the way around and fit it to my cranks. It looked like this before it tightened up. I'd say the freewheel went on another 1.5 threads so will be on even more than this. Should be safeish?

N.Wood Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 I've stripped try-all crank threads when 100% of the freewheel was on there, f**k that lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Mines about 5 threads out. Compared to mine, Dans one is pretty safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Just thought I'd update this. Been riding loads recently, and it seems to be holding up perfectly. No doubt if it will go its going to go when I'm doing a big drop gap or something ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dann2707 Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Don't get me wrong I didn't intend that post to be like, "told you you could do it without it stripping".
