Nino, More chainring questions...(8 posts)

Nino, More chainring questions...Alan

Looking at the roadbike chainring photo you supplied, it appears that you remove a lot of metal...You don't have any fear of the ring failing? I would hate to muscle up a hill to find the ring shatter and my jewels hit the toptube...

no problem.
just use some common sense when doing such tuning!my set of rings on my MTB weighs just 100g...works fine since 2 years.shifts as before.what else could you ask for?

my 532g crankset (including 14g FRM Al crank-fixing bolts):

Nino, I hope that's a picture from awhile ago... because if those are 2 year old chainrings, you must be the most neurotic bike-cleaner in history...do you disinfect your bikes regularly, too? :)

Nino, how do the Bigfoots compare to your old RF turbine LP's in stiffness? If they had made these in ISIS I would have fitted some to my Scott. Interested to know what they are like.

yes-Tune crankarms.they look more flexible for sure but to tell you the truth i can`t tell the difference!maybe the Scott frame is much stiffer than the s-works i had but i can`t tell about added flex.(I weigh 155 lbs).I have another set on my roadbike and same story there.

Nino, any problems with log crossings? nmjfu
