Oct 15, 2001 9:03 AM | | I need a 58mm 4 bolt granny, anyone know who makes a good one?
All I can find is Sugino junk. |
| 58mm 4 bolt !?!?!? | Metroid
Oct 15, 2001 11:28 AM | | Are you sure? Most 4 bolt compact patterns are 104/64 BCD.
If 64mm 4 bolt is what you are looking for, Black Spire makes them as well as Shimano, Race Face, TruVativ, QBP, Vuelta, etc... |
| yes, 58 mm 4 bolt | zobozo

Oct 15, 2001 5:12 AM | | I run steel granny and middle rings because I climb a lot in the middle and put a lot of load on the ring. heavier, yeah, but I just suck it up and go. |

Oct 15, 2001 6:51 AM | | could you please tell me who makes those granny and middle steel rings that you use?
thanks |
| I take them off cheap cranks | club
Oct 16, 2001 6:25 AM | | we're talking 58/94mm standard compact, not those awful looking 4-bolt monstrosities....Lots of sources for the grannies, check your shop. For the middles, I take them off cheap low-end cranks. sometimes folks I know want to "upgrade" to an alloy middle, so I swap them. Nashbar recently was selling a cheap Coda compact with steel rings for $19, so I bought one of those. Ask at your LBS, bet they have some steel take-off rings lying around they'll sell or even give you. |
