Title: STUPID Question, but here goes............
Post by: Thejackal on June 01, 2009, 09:43 PM: A daft question, and one that will have been asked dozens of times over the past, but

can you fit a Redline (or similar) chainring to a one piece crank?

Many thanks :daumenhoch:

Wanted the opinion of more knowledgeable RADsters than myself before I took the crank out.

Cheers guys :daumenhoch:
