That little bit on the chain ring

just cleaning my geared bike and i seem to remember that the 52 chain ring needs to be put on in a specific way so that the little piece of metal that sticks out at 90 degrees is eithe facing the chain and/or in line with the cranks??????????/

anybody know about this?

Yes. It needs to be in line with the crank arm.

yes,behind crank arm facing out to stop chain dropping in the chasm

You don't want your chain to disappear into here;

stop mokin the clints and adjust front derailleur so chain dont drop in the chasm!

thats the place FIXED FTW

Position it so that it is hidden behind the crank when you look at the bike - it stop the chain from getting jammed between the crank arm and chain ring.

cheers. job done.

That's fast bolt tightening Tim. Good work.

just trying to look after the rides while i've got the time. dropped a f*^*ing chain bolt on the floor and it's rolled into some bermuda triangle place under a chair

I did that with a tiny brass washer from a Use Alien seatpost, really pissed me off, found it 4 months later about 20 feet away in another room. Lucky I'm a slut.

Aren't we all dear...
