• this spanner is for my brake nuts, not my axel nuts, that little plier spanner looks cute.

    can i use a non narrow wide chain ring for a road bike with a clutch rear mech? should be fine? biggest bump it's going to take is a kerb

    they're 130 bcd and finding a 38t narrow wide chainring is hard/ expensive for the fractional gain it will give me over 42, but also the idea of buying a bb, bolts and ring, swapping it all on the 110 cranks i have is too much time/effort/money , although would allow me to use a 34t

    the other option is buying ANOTHER 104 mtb crank, spacers and a 30t ring and have the same, ideal set up on all my bikes

    Would give you an excuse to get one of these

  • You can run a clutch rd without at nw chainring just fine. Just don't downshift more than a couple of gears while coasting.
    I've run that setup on my own and my SO's bikes.

    ah the Paul pain. I remember this, enjoy.

  • Go to ebay or Aliexpress for china's finest NW chainrings for your 130 bcd cranks.
    You can live without but dropped chains and greasy hands make bike life miserable.
