I have a Zephyr Light double paired with a 6 speed freewheel on one
bike and a Carmina triple paired with a 7 speed freewheel.

Think of the bevel as your micro spacer, shifting the center of the
tooth profile left. I think it is technically backwards, the pics on
peter white's page show the text facing out. But the 9sp chain was
wedging itself to a complete stop, one side against the large ring,
the rollers on the teeth,

This may sound rediculous, but the middle ring may not be symetric,
and may do better flipped. On my 50-30 Ritchey compact set up on my
Roadeo I have the outer ring with the text/etching facing out, and the
middle ring has the text facing in or left. 9sp chain with an IRD
freewheel in the back.
Have a look at the Sugino Alpina crankset available from Velo-
Orange:http://www.velo-orange.com/sualcr.html
This is a 48/34 compact crank for a square taper JIS 110mm BB. At
$170 it seems like a very good deal.

Not as far as chains are concerned, though: the chain you buy today as a
"7 speed" chain is the one that some years ago was labeled "8 speed".
Now they call it "6-7-8 speed".

A Shimano UN54 BB is JIS for sure.
This experience is from setting up my Bombadil of recent. Bilenky
told my I'd have no issue using an 8sp chain, but like I said, the
chain rubs on the rings as I described. With a 7 speed FW, one should
be able to use at least 4 cogs in the small ring, 6 in the

I use 7sp friction shifting Joel. I've never used indexed shifting.
If you look at a regular non pinned chainring compared to the pinned

I just bought used/clean silver S-works 94 bcd crankarms for $28 on
EBAY. I figure I can put on some nice chainrings for $70 and have a
46-30 double for a lot less. ( at least that's my plan... I'll see how
it comes out.)
There is also the Davinci for about $220, but they are hard to get.

I don't understand. How do ramps and pins reduce the number of
sprockets available?

Bilenky sells the Carmina complete for a bit less. It was
significantly less, but they've raised their prices.
I have mixed feelings about the Carmina, as I recently bought one.
First, the BB sizing is soup du jour. You'll never know what it's
going to need until you actually get it. Forget anyth

Those White VBC's have been on my radar for quite some time, also. My
big hangups about those include fear about the flexiness of a
chainring with no spider supporting it, and fear of being completely
out of luck down the line with a proprietary chainring format on the
big ring.

The TA is a fantastic option at least for me. 50/34 compact doubles
are almost literally a dime a dozen these days. To try out the
compact double thing I bought a square taper Campy Mirage for $30 on
ebay, NIB. The key things for me are:

Seems some of you ought to check out the TA Carmina. I am going with
a 172.5 with the 110/74 double spider for my 650b Rando. Later if I
want a triple I can swap spiders and go either with the 110/74 triple
or 94/58. JIS taper.

Of course, you will need to use the Shimano Hollowtech bottom bracket
but this crank is 50/34 and has crank lengths available in 172.5 mm.

Works for me... I prefer the 175's. I feel like I climb better with a

I agree completely. No 172.5 makes it a non-starter for me, otherwise
I would be very interested in a pair. I respect Chris for what he's
doing for the Riv/VO/etc. aspect of the industry, but there are times
when he's wrong, and his stance on 172.5's is one of those times.
On Aug 2, 6:48 pm, Wil
Those Gran Cru cranks are slick and much more retro in look. Too bad
for me that Chris K insists I can't tell the difference between
172.5mm and 170. They should be available any day now. 46/30 is
going to be the right thing for a lot of things.

I think I'm waiting for the VO copy of the TA Pro 5 crankset.
Supposed to take a 28 or 30 small chain ring. and hopefully under $200
smackers.
That fancy smancy Sugino crankset uses an external BB... not something
I would want.

Sorry to bully the thread, but I also called Merry Sales. They don't
import it, and don't know what Sugino products they will add in 2011
until after Interbike in September. After Interbike, if they've
decided to bring that model in, then they'd be in the pipeline maybe
by Spring 2011. Obviously
I just called Riv and talked to Mark. They sometimes get big orders
directly from Sugino. Like a few times a year. The rest they
backfill from Merry Sales. Short answer is that there is no mechanism
to special order one Sugino crankset from Rivendell direct to Sugino.
