nickdonboy Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Just bought a new bike, it has a trial-tech half-ring. Im left foot forward and the previous owner wasn't. so i want the bash ring facing down when my left foot is forward. Easiest way to sort this?

isitafox Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Loosen off freewheel/sprocket, turn it round then retighten. Be careful though as when you tighten the freewheel/sprocket the bashring can sometimes slip round! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Yes, you need to remove the cranks first. Using an impact wrench to tighten the freewheel before installing the cranks will give you a much higher chance of installing the bashring in the correct place. It'll very often rotate while the freewheel tightens during the first few seconds of riding, if you don't account for that rotation when positioning the bash you might end up with it being in the wrong position.
