stug45 Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Middleburns arent screw on there a spline fit, theres a lockring behind your ring/bashguard combo that unscrews then the ring/bash slides off. Because of this fitting, the only thing you can get to replace it is either a Middleburn Pro-trials guard (not super-pro, just pro) there £30 off CRC then you need a sprocket to go on it, either a 20t 5arm CD sprocket or a 22t. These are about £12-15 I think...As for the gearing, personaly I'd suggest trying something a little lower. You can work out what would be the same by deviding the frotn sprocket by the rear, so 16/12=1.3333, so the same gear with a larger front ring would be, 20/15=1.333333.(CRC = www.chainreactioncycles.com)Oh yeah, is this mod or stock?? if its a mod then Id say to try a slightly higher gear (number higher than 1.3333, something like 1.5) if its a stock I'd say try something lower (maybe 1.2ish)I run the same 22:18 is that not a bit slugishwell actually 22/18 is 1.22222 (larger number=harder gearing)its basically granny and 4th gear on the back. i find it works perfect. a lot better than 22 16 that came with the bike!im gettin new cranks that come with a 22 so i dont think i can be bothered to change what feels right to me!
