Macka Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Hi Guys, I'm after a bit of advice about Bashrings and Chainrings. Firstly, I have these cranks: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com//Models.aspx?ModelID=873 I'm going to get this chainring (The one labelled "5-Bolt CD 22t Black 8sp"): http://www.chainreactioncycles.com//Models.aspx?ModelID=371 I'm going to get this bashring (in 5-bolt 22t): http://www.chainreactioncycles.com//Models.aspx?ModelID=241 Will all of these components work together? What kind of chainring bolts will I need for this setup? Would these be good: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com//Models.aspx?ModelID=737 Any help greatly appreciated Regards Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Bleech Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 yes they will all work together, but the dmr ring thing isn't that good!! the gold martin hawyes one is good, someone help me out can't remember the name. the bolts are fine, but you will need some outer bolts for the bashguard too :ermm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hardman Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Filthy ard guard is what your on about. Think wiggle still sell them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Bleech Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 they wear down quicker than the DMR ones though :ermm: ← but the dmr ones bend rediculously quickly!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macka Posted January 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Thanks for the info so far guys. Would these outer chainring bolts work? http://www.chainreactioncycles.com//Models.aspx?ModelID=505 Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave85 Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 yep, get the narrow versions and it'll be dandy :ermm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macka Posted January 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 What is the advantage of getting the narrow version instead of the normals? Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave85 Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Normal is long enough to hold two chainrings on, if you just put the one chainring(bash in this case) on with normal bolts, then there'll be some extra thread poking out the inside and interfering with the chain.

Tartridge Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 The long ones also usually bottom out, meaning you cant get them tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macka Posted January 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Ok guys, So for the outer bolts, these are good but must be narrow: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com//Models.aspx?ModelID=505 And, for the inner bolts, these are good: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com//Models.aspx?ModelID=737 Should these be in long or standard size? You are all being great help Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, you'll be able get chromed steel ones from your LBS for much cheaper probably. We always had loads in where i used to work, they were about £8 for a full set (inner and outer) i seem to remember... :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macka Posted January 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Cool, Thanks to all for your help Regards Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macka Posted January 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Can I ask how all of this will be attatched to eachother? Am I right in thinking that the outer bolts will secure the crank to the bash ring? Then, how can the bashring be connected to the chainring, and where do the inner bolts screw into? I'm kinda lost Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tipsy Jock Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 The inner bolts will bolt the chain ring onto the smaller mounts on the cranks . you'll figure it out :P Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macka Posted January 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 You've helped me to work it out. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
