Am I missing something?

Hi guys.

I got my Curtis frame back from chrome yesterday after a 10 week wait.
I spent last night building it and I'm very pleased so far.

Had a slight problem fitting the sugino 44 to my 400's. I've got nos sugino chainring bolts and they tighten and hold the ring only if I put it on the outside of the spider? If I put the ring frame side of the spider which is where I think it should go then the bolts are too long and when tight still allow the chain ring to wobble about!

Am I missing some washers or have I missed something?????

Sounds to me like the bolts are to long.  You can file the down a few mm  :daumenhoch:

if you look at the back of the chainring you will find that there are recesses for the chainring bolts to sit in.
these will only be on the rear not the front, so if you put your chainring on the front of your spyder they don't get used where as if you put it frame side they do, thus reducing the overall thickness of the spyder/chainring.

so, either fit you chainwheel on the front or file down the female part of the bolt

hope this helps
