TomR Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 I'm trying to change my riding style a bit, so a long stem and lower gear ratio are in order, found the stem i'm after, just need a chainring now.What chainring do you use and what size is it? And does anywhere sell an 18t ring that's not screw on? Or is the PCD of the crankbolts on a set or 'burns too large to accommodate a ring that small?Ta very much!

Christophe' Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 (edited) No its not small enough, 20 is the smallest available.but this may help you out! 18 tooth bash and cog!http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....showtopic=94828Chris Edited March 22, 2007 by VillageDave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomR Posted March 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Cheers, i did think of that but i wan't to see how well things run before shelling out, but i may give that the finger and just spend the cash! Any other similar cheaper alternatives? (besides running a 20 tooth ring, but i'll probably do that for now, not much to lose ona £12 chainring really) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max-t Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 The new 18 tooth cog and bash from Heatsinkbikes.com (for use with middleburns) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe' Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 you can get clive leeson to machine down your bash to save weight and look real neat! For a tenner plus posatge.If u want the 20 tooth cog to last order a middleburn "hardcote" ring. This is 20 quid but is worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomR Posted March 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 They're £15 on tartybikes the hardcote rings, for £3 over the regular i may aswell get it. Hmm, this 'newskool' jolly i seem to be going on is getting more and more expensive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe' Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 hehe and your probably going to need a surly wide base cog for the rear!And of course a new chain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomR Posted March 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 My chains almost new as it is, and i've got a surly cog kicking around that came with the bike, but the guy who originally owned it was using it with a 22 tooth ring :| so i temporarily stuck a 17tooth sprocket on the back to make life a bit easier.Anyway, just ordered a 20t hardcote with my new stem, cheers chaps.
