Title: What spider is this?
Post by: SaMAlex on June 16, 2011, 01:10 PM

Does anyone know what spider this is?
No, not the one that says GT on it, the other one that doesnt say anything on it.
Strangely, its got 5 tapped holes on it inside the normal clearance holes

yeah, i thought it might be a profile but the tapped holes threw me.
Maybe it was one of the MTB ones and the tapped holes are for a small chainring?

I believe its a profile mtb one Alex

I had one of the stright type

The inner holes are for a granny ring to be fitted with little spacers
