Bit frustrated here as the 456 is out of action on the best week or two for hitting the dirt that I can remember. At the weekend I put on new cassette, rear mech (SLX with clutch) chain (KMC X10) and On-One SS chainring.
Spinning the cranks with the bike on the stand and the chainring noise is horrible! Never had anything like it, kind of a heavy whirring metal on metal sound.
So what to do? I added 2 links to the chain but it does seem a bit tight, could it be that? Won't be able to work on it until Wednesday night now but feeling a bit puzzled and miffed.
Aren't the on one rings 1/8th and normal geared chains 3/32ths ?
A Hope alloy chainring would be better.
The On-one website says "Compatible with 1/8in and 3/32in chains" and folks on here have used them with 10 speed. Didn't expect a problem given the comments I've read.
I had similar problems with a Goldtec ring. Changed to Renthal, all good, quiet. (456C)
Yep, that's hat it sounds like!! Cheers. Might have to get a new chainring then. Bum! Why is nothing ever simple?!
Looking at a Raceface Narrow/Wide chainring, anyone know if this is likely to run OK (ie quietly!)
