Re: Is crank it still on sale?

It was bought in 1998.

Bought this bike the other day. I would like to change the current fork Rock Shox Indy C with something rigid. I don't know, what is the max alowed axle to crown height for this frame, so I would like to know your opinion. Current axle to crown height is slightly more than 42cm (16,5inch) with...

I confess - down the hill the only thing that I do - I whistle. ;-) So 0rpm.

Seems that in 95 Simplon was making bikes in Austria...

One guy is offering a Simplon hardtail bike for little more than 200eur. I only saw a photo, however it looks something from arround 1995. This guy bought it second hand three years ago and knows little/nothing about this bike (on the phone he could not explain wether is cromo or aluminium). I...

Great info Jimo. Will look for an old LX or something like that. I am just experimenting at this moment and trying to find best ratio for me. On the MTB I mostly use ratios between 0,8 - 2,5. I live in the place where anywhere I go, I have to face uphill. So uphill ratio suits me.

pm'd you, hamster

And the picture follows:

This bike - Scott Racing Comp is available for 250eur (arround 210GBP). Seem preety decent bike. Worth to check it out?

I have some 5 hole and different teeth chainrings. One of them (Sugino) is in the picture below. Distance between holes (as on the picture) is the same (between 43,2 - 43,4mm - can not measure better) on each of the rings, so I want to build a single speed crankset, where I can switch...

Thanks for the answers. I could drill 5 new holes, since there is enough place. If only 1mm is in question, then chainring offers enough edge to do it. It is also quite heavy, so I think is made of steel - so another hole would not damage it. Then I would only need spacers. I could cut out of...

Got a 20 teeth granny and want to put it on a STX crankset. However new granny is flat and granny on the STX is bent (pressed bent). Pictures attached. What screws and spacers do I need, to fix granny in place? Anyone done that already? Would this work or it would breake down? A shortcut to a...

Measured between hole centers and is aproximately 34,5mm (1,34inch). Not very accurate measurement though. I guess +- 0,5mm. It don't fit on an old Alivio (39,5mm - 1,53inch) though. I was wondering if this chainring would last, since I only used steel rings since now and I don't know anything...

Chainring thickness is 2,0mm (0,078inch).

Found some new Eleven chainring for cranks. It has 22 teeth, 5 holes (so an older version I guess) and is made out of aluminium. Anyone knows anything about it? Is it any good for mtb? Thanks.

Thanks for replies. Been checking for older cranks and found some Alivio. The three chainrings are welded alltogether. The smaller chainring is a little bent (machine pressed) in the way, that is positioned more to the left. This way middle ring is centered in the middle. If all three rings...

Hello, Been using a MTB for quite a few years now, and looking at what Shimano and Sram have been doing for past few years, I checked my type of riding. I ride mostly in the way, that I find some ascent around 500-1000m (1500-3000ft), I climb it and then I go downhill with moderate speed. I have...

Great bike!! I like rigid bikes. You can not go as fast, but you sure can feel everything under the tires...

I was surprised with the price of this second hand bike. It looks something like this: I am very happy with it. Especialy I like the climbs. I put an extra comfort saddle which is a bit heavy, but I think the weight is in the right place :-) Have to replace brake pads on it. I saw Ritcheys...
