PSA: Worth it for the rings alone……….

http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=46021

Cheap, square taper, fill your boots.

Tim

Good one…and currently only 6136 in stock 😯

Better be quick then :O)

Make that 6135…..

Nice PSA, thanks 🙂

False economy.

You’ll buy these, use the rings, then buy and build a single speed around those two shiny crank arms, which you’ll then replace with something more bling at the end.

Don’t feed the N+1

Good PSA, but nobody noticed the £25 Deore HT2 ones they sold a few months ago….. I did. 🙂

they must’ve all missed your PSA, peter

Cheers for the heads up there Tim, I’ve ordered one for the bike I’m slowly building up for my 14yr old son. It’s from CRC though so I look forward to it arriving on my desk in a box the size of a wardrobe 😉

Morning Slugwash dear boy. I hear you’ve bumped into a wee Scottish fella on the roads down your way!
Should be in Charlestown the second week of Easter. Fancy a beer? I might be able to squeeze a bike in the car given a small amount of encouragement.

Cheers timbur,
Ring perfect for my marin rebuild..

Good work mate.
That Marin needs retiring. She’s an old girl now!!

good only if you need it, other wise expensive and wasteful for a 22t (cranks bin, 40+t bin, 32t bin)

… a wee Scottish fella desperately trying to keep up with me during his Puffer training on Dartmoor…. 😉

I’ll probably be in Lewes around Easter so could do a South Downs ride instead/as well 🙂

strange thing to post. 😕

Needing new rings for my work bike, they will do just dandy, if fact its a sq taper bb so i’ll just put the chainset on.

lol

strange thing to post

it’s only cheap if you need that exact thing, not many I know running 22/32/42 9 speed. Don’t know anyone on Sq taper at all. If you are stock up though.

Don’t know anyone on Sq taper at all.

My SQ taper xt BB has been on my work bike for yrs and has been flawless (kiss of death now)

fair enough (I see the who else has one post) I generally never got on with shimano rings either 🙂 there was a PSA on SLX shifters a while back, having tried some I could see why they were cheap too.

Drop me an email. First week we’re here, second week we head SW.

Burden, i have another Eldridge that has had a slightly better life..

Not difficult. That first once was baggy.

This is so true. But I can’t help it.

What length bb axle for these cranks 113mm?

Just check if you can that the rings are replaceable as I bought a set of cranks with replaceable rings (photos showed replaceable also) and the cranks turned up as spot welded ones.It was also with CRC, however in their defence when I contacted them they refunded me and told me to keep them FOC.

Edit looks good

Edit again just ordered cheers

What length bb axle for these cranks 113mm?

Probably. But then maybe not. I base it more on the frame than the cranks. For example, on my Inbred 853, 113mm was specified for the cranks but I found 118mm better suited to the frame

Looked it up from techdocs for somebody a couple of days ago, think it was 118 or 122.5 depending on chainline requirements, feel free to double check.

I thought the race face respond double chainsets we’re a good deal, y’know, if you have some kind of 21st century bike…

cheers coatesy

Ah, this could be what I’m after for the little lady’s bike, however…

The rest of the drivetrain is 10spd; if I swap the 10spd rings across to this crank, will the shifting work okay?
