Subject: [RBW] Re: BB width question, now chainrings
I originally wanted a 48 big ring but that crank set was available at a good price with the 50t. I thought about purchasing a 48t chainring but am hesitant to shell out the extra bones. I've noticed some places sell Sugino rings at a fair price but they are advertised as being without pins and ramps, will they still work fine on a double crank with 8 speed rear? For example: http://www.universalcycles.com/shopping/product_details.php?id=16026&categor y=3159 [dougpnirv] Mike: Riv has 48T x 110 BCD for $30 & Loose Screws for $31. These are the plain Sugino, no pins or ramps. I looked for pinned & ramped when I replaced my middle & outer and they were a great deal more money but I don't recall how much. While the pins & ramps probably help, getting the outer cage of the FD down to a close clearance with the big ring seems to be key to shifting performance. I'd run the 50T for a while & keep my eye out for a 48T on sale or the bargain table at my LBS. dougP --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
