Title: Any info about Gack.
Post by: fouronethreeoh! on October 03, 2008, 05:52 PM

Anyone know anything about Gack, i've got a chainring but im not sure what year its from.
It was definately built to last, this thing is solid! About 8mm thick.
I think they were a mid to late 90's brand.

I'd post pics of the chainring but its at work at the moment, but its a gunmetal anodised colour, cant remember if its got four or five lightening holes in it.

Looks like a small producer of parts and frames.
Catalogue or advert pics would be great  :daumenhoch:

Taken some pics of my chainring.
Been working it a bit as it was in poor shape, someone had sanded the anodising off one side very badly, and they had filed the centre hole to fit a 22mm axle. Its now nicely bushed on centre to fit 19mm.
