[RBW] Re: Chainrings...when to replace?

I have over 4000 mi on my XD, compact double, 99+% of those mi on the single 42T ring, and it runs great. I bought the bare arms, the 42T from Riv, and the 25T granny is a Willow.. On other bikes, my experience with TA rings has been great, and will replace this with TA when it's time, but

In the photo there is visible wear on the middle & outer but nowhere near the point of replacement. Have you checked that the new chain is correct? I actually used a 9 speed chain on an 8 speed drivetrain without noticing but I may have been lucky. Weird stuff can happen that way. If you're

I am guessing my Sam and Bleriot have similar mileages but the Sam's xd2 rings look better than the xd600 rings on the Bleriot. -- 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

Ill have to go back and check some of my old ride tecords and mileages. My mind may have just stopped tracking miles after I hit 3k on the bikes. I havent had a computer on either bike since early 2016 either. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW

Those TA rings are the finest. My Zephyr crankset introduced me to them and I am now ruined to others. Fit, finish and durability. I wasn't a chainring elitist until trying these. A choice not wasted if you dare. Andy Cheatham Pittsburgh On Friday, May 27, 2016 at 8:58:29 AM UTC-4, Ron Mc

Maybe try the Willow Chainrings (available for 110, 74 BCD)? David Banzer on this group has 'em for sale: http://treetop.bigcartel.com/category/willow-chainrings-c Do you need a new granny? Agreed that 3,000 miles on chain rings sounds low. I've got at least double that on Sugino XD2 w/o signs

Re: [RBW] Re: Chainrings...when to replace?

I've got almost 13K miles on a 46 t Pro 5 Vis chainring with no wear visible to the naked eye, this under my mashing pedaling style (it's a 76" fixed gear). 3K miles means that something is wrong. I do change the chain every 2K miles or so. On Fri, May 27, 2016 at 7:20 AM, Scott Henry

[RBW] Re: Chainrings...when to replace?

"But I think I only have 3k miles on them." Are you sure? Miles can add up quickly. That's incredibly low. I get around 20,000 miles on a middle & outer, & use whatever's on sale for rings. The granny is steel & is the original one Riv put on in '03 when I bought the bike. I'm in a dry

Re: [RBW] Re: Chainrings...when to replace?

3000 on some chainrings seems really low. I'm taking it that you are a low cadence / masher? How about the chain, how many times have you changed it so far? On Fri, May 27, 2016 at 8:58 AM, Ron Mc wrote: > might want to hunt in UK for TA chainrings > > > On Friday, May

[RBW] Re: Chainrings...when to replace?

Yep, you're due. With a new chain acting up, it's wear on the rings. If you change rings today, you will notice an immediate reduction in the amount of noise the drivetrain makes. Rings wear so gradually that things get pretty rattly, even with a new chain. dougp On Thursday, May 26,
