nb88 Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Went riding on the profile today, it started to feel weird so i carried my bike home.. Got home to find that the lockring on the driver had dethreaded :- . I really cant be f*cked anymore... Anyone know if theres any way i can fix this? The cog is really loose and theres bits of metal all over the place, im guessing i just need a new driver (N) . I'll get pics in a mo. Noz.

nb88 Posted January 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 (edited) I don't need any pawls/springs because theyre all fine...just need the driver shell. I'll e-mail alans or wherever and see if theyll sell me a driver without the bearings, cog, etc... Also - anyone know where i can get the standard driver, not titanium?

nb88 Posted January 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 (edited) Right, i just took the lockring off and i THINK the profile driver thread is ok! hallelujah! The lockring threads are f*cked though. I'm guessing thats aluminium and the driver is steel? Anyway, heres some piccys: So...i think i should be ok with a new lockring... ill look on custom riders.co.uk. If anyone wants to post what site i can get new lockrings from while i eat my tea i'd be eternally greatful :- (N) Cheers, Noz.

biketrialler Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 You dont seem to know what you're doing, just send it back to Profile and pay whatever to get them to fix it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nb88 Posted January 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Do most riders tighten their lockring often? Do you think it'd be alright if i loctited my new one on (when i get it)? Cheers, Noz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montybiketrial Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Just nip it up tight mate, dont go too mad. Just check it every so often... I.E when you get a puncture or when your cleaning and fetteling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
011001000110010101110010 Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Unlcuky mate, mine came loose and the chain started skipping so i tightened it up. I think your just a bit unlucky. Now i have a 10t driver with no lockring so it wont happen to me. Maybe you could consider the change?

nb88 Posted January 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 (edited) OK then cheers. I'll have to get a big b*****d spanner then - anyone know the size? How does the driver with no lockring work? If its only in 10t i dont really want to as i just forked out on an 18t front cog.

nb88 Posted January 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 (edited) Got my lockring today :ermm: and also my new bearings. Profile seemed to have sent me a way beefier lockring.... Its the same spanner size as the old one though - which i measured at 36mm :mellow: . I'll take my lockring up to my lbs etc and see if they have a lockring spanner of that size. Cheers. Noz. Oh and i might buy some loctite.........does anyone have anyreasons for not loctiting the lockring onto the driver? speak now! :( Edited January 25, 2005 by Nozmeister Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nb88 Posted January 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Lockrings sorted now :mellow: found another unfixable problem! lol....getting a new driver without bearings, springs, etc for £40 though. Its rideable at the mo but skips like a mo fo as a bit of sticky out metal near one of the pawls is coming off... and im a little worried about my face. Noz.
