CBProductions Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Ok just a quick one , is it possible to get a bashguard and freewheel to fit on the monty cranks ? If so which one ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 The general problem that's happening now that alot of frames have no bashplate is that people are using front freewheel bashrings instead. But they don't really fit.Becuase you have a bashring, then a freewheel, the freewheel will rub on the bb shell.The tensile freewheel looks to solve these problems due to them not having any notches like on the ACS and ENO.Anyway...The try-all and echo bashring is what your looking for.EchoOther EchoAnd the try-all....should in theroy do the job, weather they'll fit or not is another question.

JT! Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 The the only way you stand any chance (becuase the eno sticks out even further than the acs) is to get new cranks, like the tensiles, which have a built in bashring. Other wise the freewheel will rub on the bb shell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 wont the freewheel strip the threads if there is a bash taking up loads ? you can simply get a wider bb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 I haven't heard of a freewheel thread stripping 'cos of using a bash and freewheel. They take up 4mm of thread or so (with the Echo CNC'd one anyway), which still leaves plenty for the freewheel, bearing in mind on most (like an ACS), you'll have 12mm or more still on the threads. It's a setup which holds up for a hell of a lot of people anyway The Eno and the ACS are actually the same width too - 17mm. The Eno has a 16mm body with 1mm tabs, and the ACS has a 15mm body with 2mm tabs, so I guess you'd save 1mm of width if you ground the tabs off the ACS compared to grinding the tabs off an Eno.Double check you've got a 128mm BB first though...

dave33 Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 (edited) well i dont know much about them as i dont ride front freewheelso if the bash is only 4mm wide how can that make the freewheel rub on the frame,front freewheels iv seen have had loads or room between the frame bb so surly you dont need new cranks to run the bash, just a new bb if your unluckyedit i read a post by adam read a while ago, summit about the threads being stripped because of this, or is that a different problem Edited March 28, 2006 by dave33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 They only really have loads of room if you grind the tabs off. I've only got 2mm of room between my Eno and my BB (Well, 3mm with the Tensile on or so), and that's a 128mm BB with Tensile arms. Sucks.

CBProductions Posted March 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Cheers for the replies dudes , will check the bottom bracket size and may well order an echo cnc one tommorow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 how much room do you have between the left hand chain stay and left hand crank mark ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Absolutely no idea. Probably more atm 'cos the l-side crank is loose as f**k Not much eitherway. Why's that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 could always apace the bb over a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 I've got the spacer on to reduce it to 68 from 73, but spacing it wouldn't adjust the distance from my freewheel to the edge of my BB unit, unless I spaced the crank arm off the spindle, which would rape my cranks...
