Pics n' issues.
Can't be many of these rings around; downhill specific single 44T. It's meant to be mounted on the inner position though, and it just won't go, so chain drops like nothing else. Some of the crankarm tabs actually look bent too. So I'm sending the whole lot back, and fitting an Alfine 39T chainset when it arrives, which has the added bonus that the chain will actually be long enough and I don't need to get a new one.
In better news, Pat at Limit Fabrications spot welded the proper fork for a tenner, while I waited. Top bloke. Checked the rest of the crown for any other cracks too. Just need to clearcoat it.
Mostly together now though.
Love the feel of the bar sweep, just right
