Hi

I Have a Truvativ Crank running with a 40t ring, however the alignment with the rear sprocket is slightly out. To remedy this I need to move the ring to the inside mounts on the spider as opposed to the current outside mounts. simple

The problem is that the mounts on the inside are, although the same BCD, smaller than the outside. My local shop has suggested filing them down the mm or so that it needs. Will this affect the strength of the crank? are there any alternatives? any tips if I do go ahead and file the metal down?

any help will be much appreciated.

Not sure what you mean by that? Could you file the chainring to get it to fit?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
