Sugino Messenger

did brixton have the bb for them too, hubjub havent got any at the moment??

Nah was $150 including postage so what thats like £75. This is the messenger crank not the 75 ones.

not bad!

i think i might have nabbed the last BB... thats pretty good too. the quality is nuts

got one 2 weeks ago... try brixton cycles... all good so far no noticeable flexing

Jeez, at least introduce yourself.

Hi there.

Was just browsing some info on the sugino messenger crankset and apparently it's very noisy?!!?! Possibly down to not being set up right, but surely you can get the right chainline with with the right bits?

Anyone got any bad experiences with this crankset?

oh it's a decent little crank, dunno about the noise, used to have it in my old peugeot and didn't notice any (but then I am profoundly deaf), the reason i got it is simply for reliability.

Setup issue. Is your chainline ok? Is the noise actually from the chain/chainring/cog or the crank itself? Maybe BB noise?

I have a gold Zen Messenger Chaing Ring, brand new in package selling at the price I bought it for £45. http://www.londonfgss.com/thread12065.html

You then just have to find the spider, I got mine from Japan at around £80 before the pound against the yen was down by 25% in a month!

ah cheers guys,

i dont have this set up, yet, so the noise issues were just what i read from other people!! But i'm sure if it's set up right there should be no issues. Does it have to be a messenger ring?

any 130pcd chainring will do.
the messenger chainset are sugino rd2 cranks with a "zen messenger" influenced chainring. you wanna bigger gear - look out for the rd2 chainset - 48/50t

bear in mind stronglight chainrings - about £15 - are a tad flexy and you'll more than likely need the 103mm axle length bb - i'd suggest trying to get the sugino one if you can find them

nice one boys!!! very handy!!!
