CRC single speed kits

I dug up an old chainguide I had made for a Wisconsin Klein Pulse II I used for dual slalom back in the mid 90s. It was designed to bolt to the anti chain suck mount on the drive side stay on the Klein. I drilled and tapped it for a top plate to sandwich the chainstays like the Ringle anti suck device and pressed it into service for my recent SS build. IIRC the pully is a skateboard wheel I turned down on a lathe.

Is that a Shimano DX pedal ? Or SX

 

[FMJ]

Old school DX baby! My favourite pedals. I have a few pairs, and buy them up for spares/parts when I find them at a decent price.

Won a pair of XT beartraps last night on fleabay. I tried a pair out on my friend's A la Carte, but don't remember if I liked them or not. I think I was more worried about toppling over on the thing.

Isn't there a pretty substantial risk of smashing the crap outta the tensioner mounted up front?

Aesthetically, I prefer it there.....

Significantly better than all other bolt on tensioners

If your going to hang stuff from the mech hanger it might as well be a mech

off topic cream or white tyres and light bits would make your splatter look the business, indeed if you want a set of white (very dirty at the mo) oury grips for it, give me a shout and I'll post them down- can't get the buggers to stay put!!!!

You're more likely to catch the chainring before the roller but that never happens anyway . Doesn't get covered in mud either as it's out the way of the tyre . Even if it did get hit and the roller manages to push against the side of the chain it has already been over the chainring and the chain isn't under tension as it travels to the rear so the chain would stay on , any deflection as the chain comes off the chainring is lost along the chainstay length . Even if it's a bit rough it would still pedal . But bend the rear mounted tensioner and the chain would lift off the sprocket at the rear .

The rear wheel just slots in as there is nothing in the way like with a hanger mounted tensioner . If you wanted to get really technical having the tensioner in the center of the bike low down is a better place to add the extra weight than hanging it off the rear of the bike .

Thanking thee

Bit of luck I'll get cracking on this VERY soon, at least I'll be armed with info and hopefully get it pretty bang on first time...

Gazz that frame is now stripped and actually nearer to you than me right now . I'll do it properly when I get it back , then you can tell me if green/gold/red nipples* are too much

*getting them in the right places was hard work being red green colour blind

Chainline is the only thing that you need to get right . With both rings running perfectly in line the chain could be swinging in the breeze and not come off .
