After some advice.
Got a 36 / 13 set up at the moment and have to change the sprocket after bending it recently.
Seen one I really like which is half price but it is only available in 37t not 36t (sold out of 36t) - how much difference is this going to make when pedalling? If I get it what will I notice most?
Otherwise - can anyone recommend a strong 36t sprocket?? Mentioned it to Stodgy but he's only got one type available :(
-
it'll be harder to get going but ultimately faster. but shouldn't affect you in a park too much.
Barnaby are sure if you've bent your sprocket you don't wanna look at getting a rear cassette hub and going 28/10 or 29/9
I'm guessing you bashed your sprocket on some coping hence it's bent?
-
Whacked it on the coping droping into the bowl at Interact last week. :'(
Took it all apart and put the sprocket on a flat surface and I've bent it round the centre hole rather than the edge. feels funny when I ride - Only just ot it but must be made of swiss cheese - thinking about putting back on the old steel one.
Tempted with a new back wheel but more than I can afford just now, as first up is a new fork.
-
Quadrophenia has first dib dobs on my Macneil Bashguard 36t sprocket, but if he doesn't want it, then it's available if you're interested. It's the one off my bike now - maybe you remember it from Interact? Won't be expensive :)
-
bushwacked thought his cranks were loose pmsl :)
-
Cheers Rob - let me know if its still free - when will you know?
Jedi - I just wanted to check everything was still good, deep down I knew the crank wasn't loose - honest! :angel:
I can't defend myself though as I took the whole crank apart when I got home to see what was wrong / bent!!
:LolLolLolLol:
-
i thought something was wrong with my back wheel, which would have really f***ed me off being as it's an oddy cassette. the symptoms were that when i push the bike along the cranks turned as i pushed it instead of it just free wheeling.
turned out my cranks were loose. oooops.
-
at corby last week..i thought my new rear wheel and my cranks were fooked........as the bike wouldn't do anything i tried to make it do :-\
turned out it was just that i'm sh*t :LolLolLolLol:
-
my bike's landing system is fooked.
hence i have a bad hand. lol.
or i'm sh1t.
