My mate uses rotor cranks on his road bike, he can't decide for or against them
I like the idea of having two free teeth on the crank 😉
Tazzy, count me in, I'll have one.
Currently 32:17 and have a 19 for spinney climbing stuff so guessing a 34t based on what you've said so far. Using Sram XO cranks.
When will know you've got them or should we go direct??
Cheers.
I've been running one for about a year & really like it. They last very well. They make the singlespeed pedal stroke smoother & I certainly didnt notice the 1 tooth increase I went with.
Tazzy...just out of intrest, do you think they would work if I ran two as a dingle speed ?

Taz up for 2 please - currently running 32 so guessing I'll need 34
Humm interested, up one tooth, up two teeth, I hate these decisions 🙄
Ball park cost of 104 bcd 33T/34T
Im slightly confused by the +2t idea. A normal 4 arm crank the smallest you can (easilly) fit is a 32t, so the max leverage ratio any oval ring could have would be same as the 32 (ie. point of chain contact from centre of axle)? Does that mean that you choose a 34t oval ring as it would have more speed but same power/ability to climb as the 32?
Thoughts?
Ta.
Also, do they work with 9speed chain?
righty ho folks, I'll have a chat to the goldtec boys and see what best price we can sort for a group buy. It may be easier if I can just get a code from the boys and email it to the interested parties and you can deal direct with your discount.
Last time I organised it I was a total dobber and forget to get the postage cost off folks so ended up out of pocket, but with a warm glow of spreading the wonky love. I'm a bit special like that! 😕
Tazzy, no problems, will sort it either way to suit you no problems 😀
Thanks for the update and the thread, came just at the right time for me this..

I'll be in if the Shimano Centrelock version will fit my Middleburn cranks...
they do direct mount uno version for middleburn, or the normal ones work with the standard 4 arm 104 bcd middleburn spider.

Thanks - is that the one they describe as centrelock [url= http://www.mountainbikecomponents.co.uk/items.asp?CategoryID=440&Name=Goldtec+OneKey+Rings ]here[/url]? Bought the vranks this week second hand and still making sure I understand what I need 🙂
looks like middleburn direct mount version. i'll check tomorrow for you.
Thanks - appreciate it.
Loving my 35t Tazzy, may need to get a 33t one next.
Cheers Tazzy!
Right folks. From friday the 18th until the 25th the wonky rings will be available on the betd goldtec website for a discounted price with free postage as well, so order direct and have fun.if you want the tazzy guide to set up email me as there are a couple of cheeky tricks to get perfect chain tension. Cheers.
Good work! Thank you!
Could you put your email in your profile? It's worked out well so far, cos I wouldn't have started this thread if it had been in there!
Or send me set up to the address in mine.
Cheers again,
Ed
Thanks!
Thanks tazzy, will give one a try. As above could you pop your email in your profile or drop me an email (address in mine) with the set up....or post the technique in this thread. Ta

Any idea how we get the discount? They're still showing as the same price
Muchos Tazzy.
I'll need the setup as I'm using Niners EBB.
Also interested in one of these - was just going to buy one direct, but I see they've put the price up now, so would be interested in how to do the group buy thing - I'd mail tazzy if I knew what his mail was...?
Me too. Almost certain they were £35 when this thread started.
is it these?
http://www.mountainbikecomponents.co.uk/items.asp?CategoryID=440&Name=Goldtec+OneKey+Rings
ready to hit the button when the price drops ...
Tazzy could you put your tips on a blog and link them, (unless you have a reason to keep them private)? Posterous takes moments to set up if you need a publishing tool, or I can do it for you.
Yep, they're the ones.
Price is showing as £34.99. Are we expecting it to go down from that? It seems to have gone up then down to the price it was before...
I'm confusticated 😕
@cheez it was defo showing 45 quid a couple of hours ago.
Bikebouy...mine is on a SIR.9.
I set the tension with the cranks as in my pic.
Anyone tried these on a 1x10 setup?

The CRC school of product discounting.
And for that reason I'm ooooot....
Yeah, does seem that someone was trying to be a bit clever there. Ah well, happy paying 35 quid for the ring so i'll give one a try.
The rings are 45 quid. Their it gimp fluffed up when he put them on a few weeks ago. Hence the return to normal price before dropping to the discount for the next week.
Anyone know if a 36T will fit on a Swift?
Anyone know if a 36T will fit on a Swift?
yes in the outer ring position, if using standard cranks. With an uno it'll be tight and the EBB will have limited movement (be at the front as it were)
Thanks - I'll go with a 34 in that case I think. Can always put a smaller freewheel if I need to.
Got mine this morning, it seems wonkier in real life than it looks in the pictures!
tazzy, any more news on the set-up tips? I'll be using mine with a tensioner, so I guess that takes care of things?
Landed this morning.

sorry folks, have been "away" for a few days. Set up instruction PDF available on the one-cog facebook group.
Oh and for the miserable sods. Rings should be £45, yes their IT gimboid cocked it up putting the rings on the web recently, from memory they were on at 39 quid instead of the proper 45.
So even with all your moaning/conspiracy theory you would still get it 4 quid cheaper than the error and with free postage.
Bear in mind that I get cock all for this as well and have no involvement with BETD, just trying to help out other riders in the "spirit of STW" as some one asked me to do and has I have done in the past. Frankly all the comparisons with chain reaction, price rip offs etc... just makes me realise that the spirit of STW seems to be pretty sodding small minded , petty and filled with bile these days.
so if you want your rings cheap you've got until tomorrow than they are back to full price (which is still about £25.00 cheaper than the comparable rotor Q singlespeed ring) otherwise you can kindly cock off and I can't be arsed to help out again.
Top job Taz - much appreciated.
Tazzy, I’d have sent you an email if it was in your profile, and if you’d replied to that or this thread:
“I don’t really have anything to do with them, really, and it was a bit of a ballache last time. They’re still a decent price as they are. Soz, Taz.”
That would have been absolutely fair enough. But you didn’t, you went out of your way to help because you’re a decent sort and it’s been much appreciated.
Don’t let the bastards grind you down.
Ed
Reasoning for my post was that I initially thought that BETD were trying to be a bit cheeky by telling you that they would do a discount and then slipping the price up, which i thought wasn't fair on you. In hindsight it would have been easier for me to clarify by phoning them and then i'd have found out it was a simple IT error rather than relying on you to do it 🙄 😳 Anyway, apologies if it was me that boiled your p1ss, thanks for sorting the deal out, very much appreicated.
Thanks Tazzy. Have wee drink and chill.
