Typical spacing between chainrings is 5mm. However, it is all about the chainline. https://www.sheldonbrown.com/chainline.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from

Judging from a photo is basically impossible but I'm going to do it anyway, your spacers look wider than my 3.5. I'll betcha 3.5 is the ticket for you. On Saturday, May 13, 2023 at 11:37:28 AM UTC-7 J Schwartz wrote: > thanks for all the input > very helpfuland for the article on

Oh sheesh, how about "If the rings are not flush with where you place the spacers, well then you must add/subtract that distance from each other". Some chainrings are thicker than others. that said, it doesn't have to be exact, you simply don't want to use something much too thick, like a 5mm

Hi all, I'm selling a SRAM 2x10 speed setup that I had on my Sam for a couple of years. It is a super fun setup and works great. It's all very lightly worn. I'd like to get $350 for the entire setup, or see suggested la carte pricing below. Let me know if I am way off on price for this stuff!

Oh, and my spacers are AFAIK from the 7 speed or 8 speed era -- they've been in my little drawer for decades -- and I'm using them with an 11 ("eleven") speed chain (42/28 X 10-25 10 sp cassette); it never occurred to me that I might have spacing problems and in fact I never have had any. On Sat,

I've never had to use spacers on chainrings, but I've also never disassembled the aforementioned crank. To my mind, if you need spacers on a crankset, you've designed something wrong. On Saturday, May 13, 2023 at 8:50:06 AM UTC-4 J Schwartz wrote: > weird question...but here goes > I

Joel, If this helps, my 8 speed setup is: Guard/44/30 — but with a Sugino crank (if that makes a difference). Shifted with a Claris triple. No spacers involved and works fine. Perhaps try without the spacers and /or play with the adjustment on the derailer. Best, Rich in ATL On Saturday,

The other possibility here is you're using a narrow 10-speed chain, it might hang up a bit between the middle and small rings on a Silver crank if the shift is a little lazy. On Saturday, May 13, 2023 at 8:34:25 AM UTC-7 Joe Bernard wrote: > I search of the webs produced 3.5mm as a common

*Suggest calling/writing RBW.* I recall a Grant write up a few years ago comparing the Silver to the XD2 2 and I remember something about spacers on the 74mm BCD posts. If the crank is on the bike, you can measure the distance form the end of the seat tube to the teeth of the Middle and Inner

Somewhere between 3.5-3.6mm should work as that's what I measure the spacing between the large arms on every crank I own. I measured the thickness of the arm "shelves" up which the rings sit. So if the inner ring mounting holes are flush with the middle ring, it's obvious a 3.5-3.6mm spacer

I've not used the Silvers but some square taper triples used spacers between middle and granny; I just looked at the spacers between the 42 t ring and the 28 t granny on my Logic 110 triple (guard/42/28). On Sat, May 13, 2023 at 8:46 AM Will Boericke wrote: > I've never had to use spacers on

Btw needing spacers on a Silver crank instead of having the spacing built in is useful. You can use really thin ones to get the rings closer for a double-ring-plus-guard 11- or 12-speed drivetrain. On Saturday, May 13, 2023 at 11:47:45 AM UTC-7 Joe Bernard wrote: > Judging from a photo is

Joel, for purposes of chaining I'd suggest ignoring the bash guard and reference your chainline as you would for a conventional double (the bash guard is irrelevant to tchainline considerations. If you happen to have a long enough meter/yardstick (or something like it) you can lay one end
