Title: challenger chainring
Post by: kev-s on October 06, 2012, 05:29 PM
unfortunately ive used all 5 of my gt power series chainrings so the challenger is going to have to have something different

ive a choice of

profile tri fan (cheers betty :daumenhoch:)  

(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/1003/escrs/IMAG0658.jpg)

gt overdrive

(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/1003/escrs/IMAG0659.jpg)

gt overdrive fitted backwards

(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/1003/escrs/IMAG0660.jpg)

or is there something else you think might suit? (no profile ripsaws please!)

oh and i do have a brand new pro neck chainring in the packet but im kinda saving it for when a mk1 holmes comes up!

Ive always thought the Odyssey Z915 was an under rated chainring for early mid bikes. They look so good on race builds as well. There was a guy with a black supercross at MK12 who was running one and it looked awesome. If you could find one Id go with that.

Loving the Overdrive backwards Kev - although we know which sprocket that looks like (not that any buggers bar Alex and Danny have 'em) ;)

I'd be tempted like Danny said with the Profile two piece - if you are fella I've got a Profile spider here you can have for nowt :)

My mint green holmes had a black backwards gt sprocket. Its being rebuilt after a repaint this week with a new sprocket......  :)

As Jon says the Odyssey looks cool and is available from Jai (SEBMXER) at Shiners for a reasonable price.
Looks great on my Supercross.
Funny as I have the Pro neck on my ELF doublecross and also looks amazing.
Plus run a Hutchins Tiger Tooth  on an Auburn.
Both of these are rare so I choose to race with the Odyssey as it's replacable, but still looks good.

Anyway personal opinionwould be the Pro Neck.

Martin  :)
