For some reason, my wife's 1x9 chain drops, even with a Blackspire chain thingy (although, the guide is for 2xX).
Will a N/W chainring benefit it?
I have a spare chainring although have lost the self extracting screw for the Raceface crankset so removing it takes a lot of swearing and banging with a rubber mallet!
Thanks
Should help, yes.
Can you undo the chainring bolts and slip the chainring off over the crank? Works sometimes depending on cranks
I ran a NW on a 9spd setup, didn't drop the chain. For £20 it has to be worth a go assuming chain and cassette aren't worn.
No. I can't get the chainring on without 'removing' the crank.
It's free as I have the ring - just the 45 mins it takes banging and smacking the bike.
Thanks both
Yup working a treat for My Bridalslayer 1x9: 38t N/W with 11-32 cassette...
I've not found a single ring chainring I couldn't get round the arms of my Atlas cranks (9spd era). Smallest would have been a 32 that I've done it with. They take a bit of jiggling and pedal might need to come off.
My Hope and Salsa n/w rings have been fine for chain retention btw.
