is there enough clearance of the pivot to run a 36/22 double and bash setup on a 2005 orange patriot?
If it's anything like the five you'll need to shuffle BB spacers to get it clear.
I run a double and bash on my 2005 Five without any mods. Works fine, plenty of clearnce. Running 2005 XT cranks. Note sure if it's the same for a Patriot.
I forgot to mention it's 36/22 too!
2004 Five and 36/22 + bash SLX cranks here, no problems.
Think it's the newer five's that have the clearance problems, my mate has an 04 (I think) frame and that's running slx double n bash no prob's.
Can't comment on the 66 specifically but I had a raceface double n bash (22/36) on my big-t and that worked fine, in fact came from the factory like that...
Should be fine.
Ran exactly that with a Stinger on my Patriot 66 without a problem
cheers for answers people!!!
gonna get the slx double. what chain guides would u recommend??
