AC Adventure Components

[Jan-Cor]

I am trying to get in contact with AC Adventure Components in the USA.
Unfortunately I did not get in touch with them for over a week now.
I've tried by phone and email but I do not get any respond.

I need some spare parts from them....

Anybody any idea how to get in touch with them ?

( the phone number is okay, I'm getting their answering machine but cannot leave a message because the box is full. And because of the time difference I have tried to call them in the morning, afternoon and evening.)

News on it seems to go to 2009 so theres a possibility that the company have folded :?


Spare parts for what ?

Strong chance the website is just a ghost I'd say.

The AC that made your crank closed shop in the 90s. The AC that you're emailing bought the name and started making parts. They make completely different (incompatible) parts, kinda like you can still get Syncros Hardcore seatposts, but they're made in Taiwan by Kalloy for the new company that rose from the Chapter 11 ashes of what was once Syncros in BC. As the Japanese saying goes, "same, but not same same".

What you need to do is find someone with a drive side crank arm with a silver spider that's missing the non drive side arm.

Or find the original machined DH ring that bolts direct onto the arm.

Sorry I do not understand.
What exactly do you mean?
Do you have a picture to show?

It is in this catalogue. Available in many colours.

Nice cataloque, thanks!

But I want three chainrings, not only one (DH chainring) for singlespeed.

Re:

Vauge memory of mention that these use the Shimano spider splines, so the stx to XTR of the late 90s and turn of 00s should/may fit.

If you have on it might be worth a test
