About 1.5 years ago about the same time the trend kicked off. I jumped on the bandwagon, and what!

When Chuck Norris does a push up, He doesn't push himself up He pushes the world down.

Did you hear about the dyslexic man, he went to a toga party dressed as a goat.

Nelson Mandela is sitting at home watching TV and drinking a beer when he hears a knock at the door. When he opens it, he is confronted by a little Japanese man, clutching a clipboard and yelling, "You Sign! You sign!" Behind him is an enormous truck full of car exhausts.

Nelson is standing there in complete amazement, when the Japanese man starts to yell louder: "You sign! You sign!"

Nelson says to him, "Look, you've obviously got the wrong man", and shuts the door in his face.

The next day he hears a knock at the door again. When he opens it, the little Japanese is back with a huge truck of brake pads He thrusts his clipboard under Nelson's nose, yelling, "You sign! You sign!"

Mr. Mandela is getting a bit hacked off by now, so he pushes the little Japanese man back, shouting: "Look, go away! You've got the wrong man! I don't want them!" Then he slams the door in his face again.

The following day, Nelson is resting, and late in the afternoon, he hears a knock on the door again. On opening it, there is the same little Japanese thrusting a clipboard under his nose, shouting, "You sign! You sign!"

Behind him are TWO very large trucks full of car parts This time Nelson loses his temper completely, he picks up the little man by his shirt front and yells at him; "Look, I don't want these! Do you understand? You must have the wrong name! Who do you want to give these to?

The little Japanese man looks at him very puzzled, consults his clipboard and says...

(Get your Japanese accent ready...)

it is unlikely that the cranks are bent, but if they are it should be easy to see.
If you spin them they should wobble.

I havent seen the Sheldon menthod of chainring fitting. But Id just say use common sense, leave the bolts half tight and give it a few spins with a snug chain on, it should centre itself, then tighten up at opposite corners.

You should even have to do this if you have a modern/decent pair of cranks, as the chainrings fit very accurateley anyway.

Too right man, I've done all these things multiple times! But I can't see anything obvious... I don't want to cunt 150 on Suginos and a ring if it isn't going to remedy anything.

Edit, Sheldon method is as you stated.

I don't want to start a new thread...

Any pointers on how to centre a chainring on a set of cranks. I have done the sheldon brown method but it had little effect. There is quite a difference between tight and slack (chain) on my bike at the moment.

Is it likely the cranks are bent? The chainring is a TA Alize brought as new.

maybe your twisting your foot without realising.

Slack chain

that ride is hawt.

I haven't done it yet it clipless. I rode clips for 3 hours and fell 3 times. FAIL. I'm back on clipless now.

Keep your front brake, but only use it in emergency's. Watch out for big units (anything with a greater mass or speed than you + your bike)

I AM SPARTACUS.
on a serious note, that is infact me!

If people insist on using SPDs wrong then they'll not work.. first: don't use cleats with M-marking (M for multirelease), second: tighten down the tension screw at least a full turn, and third: make sure you have adjusted the angle of the cleat on your shoe so that you don't get to "clip out angle" without wanting to..

I have had 3 unclips i didn't want on my SPDs since starting using them, first was due to a wrongly adjusted cleat + too loose tension on the pedal (at least that's what i suspect), second was because a small stone stuck on the shoe by the cleat had blocked the cleat from being securely locked in, third i don't know, but i changed the pretty worn cleats and have not had problems since..

Skid all the time, run brakeless, and 48x17 gear, about 75 GI.

Thats great, but what shoes and clips are you using?

What I didn't mention is that once I've cycled to work, I walk around all day in them. So my cleats are worn to fuck.
I got some brass, then just cut out the same profile as the eggbeater cleats, they were fucking tight to start with, they have loosened up now.

I've got some egg beaters I pop out once a day. Its pain in the ass.

That said, I am using some homemade cleats....

People who colour co-ordinate clothes with metals will look like ass holes.

Slack chain btw,
