  • Having a fucking 'mare with what I thought would be an easy conversion from a 46/34/26 triple to a 42/26 double. Two completely seized chainring bolts that I'm doing a cack-handed job of trying to remove; need bigger drill bits and my proper drill, all in storage. Front mech ordered from Evans is completely the wrong size; didn't state on website. Forgot entirely that an outer 104 chainring has an 88mm I.D. and won't fit on the 90mm inner shoulders, and even if it did the bolts will interfere with the chain, so have a useless, brand new 42t Middleburn ring. Urrrrrggggghhhh

  • What a coincidence: Thats what I've just come online to look at. Trying to squeeze a 104 outer onto the middle. I'm thinking about dremelling the shoulders on the chainset down.

    Trying to put together a parts bin 1x chainset for my MTB, before I get spendy.

    Wouldn't it make more sense to cut the chainring, i.e. the consumable part?
