sub 32 tooth rings go on the inside of the 104bcd cranks apparently, i found this out as the ring arrived and i wondered why it looked weird. this prompted a breakdown in a self loathing touring bike related signal chat, in which people kindly talked me down from buying the matching hope bash guard as a way of coping with such news.
i am now pretending i have given up any preservation of aesthetic, labelling all these nodder looking downgrades as "hesh", "really putting function before form" and "reverse engineering a DIY aesthetic by abandoning all but the most board stroke and socio cultural aesthetic reasoning" in the hope of getting something remotely "care free" and "well ridden", while mainlining various mood altering prescriptions, hoping it kills the part of my brain which cares about this before i fall into a coma from cnc deficiency
Don't mean to add fuel to the fire here... But doesn't the ring go on the outside of that spider??
