Matt Vandart Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 I can only suggest you get an echo hub see Click me as it has a shoulder by the spokes. This means you can run the sprocket with the teeth next to the spokes. I had to do this with my skull I have a neon sprocket here but you may be better off with one of these click me or these Click me This is how I solved the problem with my skull which has a similar drop out, I'm not 100% it'll work on the limey as I don't have one.

craigjames Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 I'll ask Joe what set up he runs on his 320 and used to run on his limey 20, both i've ridden and there were no issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Scarlet Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 I can only suggest you get an echo hub see Click me I wouldn't recommend this hub if your running a rear disc, as it puts the rotor ridiculously close to the frame. I will have to try the idea of flipping the cog over, only problem I can see in the long term is the chain line itself is on the piss, which would wear the chain out quicker.

I'd rather wear out a chain quicker, than have my chainstay eaten away at by the chain.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Scarlet Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Teeth or frame, I know which I'd rather have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 I wouldn't recommend this hub if your running a rear disc, as it puts the rotor ridiculously close to the frame. Eh? Mine's fine I've even had to space my caliper out slightly so it gets over the disc nicely. It's also one of the few disc hubs that are made with a good flange spacing on the disc side, meaning you can run a normal style lacing without the spoke being an issue with the rotor, unlike the H hubs or Bub hubs.

Yh it wears them realy quickly, friend snaped about 2 chains in about 5 months or something like that. It just seems that onza havent even thought about the chain when designing the frames and to be honest with you i think it spoils it as in my opinion the make the best frames but this problem can be of putting and realy confusing !

Le @ Tnn Engineering Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 I'm the third person I know who's got one. The other boys just ran a monty BB,monty cranks and freewheel with a TT Ti bashring,TT cog,8 speed MTB chain. problem solved. But I would like to keep my 128mm Resest BB so I'm trying same as above but with echo TR cog (sprocket is centered on cog) and a 2.5mm spacer on a tryall 'H' rear hub. and the chain still rubs by approx .5mm to 1mm. Only just assembled the bike today. So next step is to try to run a thicker spacer between the hub and frame. If that doesn't work some careful frame mods with the hydraulic press. Proper chain alignment is IMO very important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proper chain alignment is IMO very important. i ran a 2 to 3 mm spacer on a onza hub on my limey 2 and eventually the axel snapped because it didnt go far enuf into the drop out. i wouldnt say its a good idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 But I would like to keep my 128mm Resest BB... Proper chain alignment is IMO very important. Not important enough to get a shorter BB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le @ Tnn Engineering Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Not important enough to get a shorter BB? Agreed. The cranks are no where near the slave cylinders. 118mm BB here i come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
