My First Pre Cursa

This place? https://bikepunkshop.com/Home

It doesn't look as good up close! It work well though and I had the cranks already so the only expense was the chainring, cheaper than a new set of cranks.

I have no idea if Bikepunx deliver to the USA but if not I'm sure there'll be somewhere that'll sell you a weirdo chainring for an esoteric road/fixed gear hybrid drivetrain.

No, this place.

I got mine from their eBay store.

Thanks again! *eBay store link nonexistent, last post from 2023 :(

Ah, their eBay store seems to have disappeared as well! I found an email address, I'll send you it in a DM. It might be easier and cheaper to source something from the US though. I think there were a couple of options from different brands when I was looking. If you search for "130BCD 3 3/32 chainring" or similar I'm sure you'll find something. (I'm guessing at the BCD of those cranks being the same as mine so worth checking!

There’s a lot of cool bike shops an hour away in New York City. I like going to King Kog when I venture out there. Once or twice a year but it’s awesome.

Currently. I’m imagining this gear 42t https://www.retro-gression.com/products/alter-mad-max-tracklocross-chainring by https://www.velobike.co.nz/products/11-tooth-sprocket

Why not go for larger chainrings and sprockets if you're buying new anyway?
It would (theoretically) be more efficient and cause less wear on the components.

Thank you. I’ve only done as low as 44/17. I just get bored at home. I’m sticking to 48/16 for a while.

Bye bye back tyre ;)
Although that’s what I run (with a front brake)

Front brake would still be nice. The close calls would be far less. Would prefer road levers and front brake. I love GP 5000s so grippy. Would def buy. These were parts bin gifts. Both in good condition when I received them. (I always forget to respond in the reply)

This makes sense. I strongly agree with running as big of a chain ring matched up with the corresponding rear cog to achieve the desired gear ratio to prolong the life and increase the efficiency of your drive train. It only becomes an issue with a low bottom bracket on conversions but you should be good

I shouldn’t even be looking at huge rings with all the hills around me. I did do myself a favor and unslammed my stem and level my handlebar.

They make 20-22 tooth cogs to accommodate a decent sized chainring as long as the frame will allow it... More teeth equals less wear and tear or at least that is what logic would suggest. Regarding slamming the stem: fit is better and translates into more comfort that's all that matters at the end of the day

51x22 sounds nice. I finally washed my bike properly. Not slamming deep track drops yeah. I’m just commuting lol.

Barwrap soon

Put a brake and some road levers on there while you're at it.

I’ll order them soon

Looks like an improvement to the previous cockpit(Bar/stem)setup. How does it ride?

It's great! I rode to and from work and the first legit snow day. Wide enough for a comfortable position especially with the positive rise. I like it a lot. I just spilled my beer on my bed, good times. Watched cyclocross today and wanted a carbon pro cyclocross bike yeah - Sergio Nys :
