bikerider Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 HISeeing as Tarty's are out of tensile bashrings, are they any other shops out there that sell them? Tried trialshop.co.ukIf not, can anyone recommend anything similar / better?Other problem, my isis bb is a bit stiff, it's supposedly a virtualy new one, and i doubt anything's broken. Do I need to remove and grease something? Or just ride the damn thing and let it bed in?....thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 Correct me if I'm wrong, but Tensile bashrings have a special fitting to go with the crank. I'm not sure if they can be used with other cranks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onza Kieron Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 That Bottom bracket is it? I found my old style Echo one to be very very tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bergia Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Try Aire Valley Cycles they should be able to sort you out with a Tensile bash Have you had a look on Supercycles as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
