    Swapping front chainring for larger size?

    Bummer (changed for reason below), I think I measured the PCD wrong, which is why I found it difficult to find suitable chainrings. I thought it was 110PCD, but I'm now sure it's 104PCD after using vernier calipers to measure. The appliance of science lol Oh, and why is b u g g e r...

    Swapping front chainring for larger size?

    It does seem a shame not to use what I've got, but I've searched the last hour for a 4 arm 110mm BCD chainring to suit, but drew blanks. Felt it was less hassle to replace the lot as one. Didn't realise that you could unbolt the middle and small chainring. Thought they might form an integral...

    Swapping front chainring for larger size?

    To make the changeover less hassle and considering the original crankset is Suntour, I think I may go for the components in the links below: suntour xcr v2 bike -mtb crankset with bottom bracket | eBay Sunrace 7speed road freewheel.13-25 Chromed.New | eBay Now if I've done my homework...

    Who makes the best quality freewheels?

    Thanks Frank, so is Sunrace generally considered better than the likes of Shimano?

    Who makes the best quality freewheels?

    Which manufacturer is regarded as making top quality freewheels? Could also suggest a product range within a company. Must have a 7 speed cluster in their range, preferably 13T or 14T.

    Swapping front chainring for larger size?

    Yes, I did notice that the majority are five armed. I'm sure I'll find one somewhere. No rush, I like to make sure everything is watertight before I commit to changes.

    Swapping front chainring for larger size?

    Thanks flecc, I think I tried to make the task harder than it really is. I'll give it a go and post back here with my attempt ;) The leverage problem won't affect me in my case, I just needed to find a solution to replace the rear freewheel for a higher quality one, unfortunately increasing...

    Swapping front chainring for larger size?

    Considering I never change cogs on the front chainset, can anyone guide me in swapping my setup to one chainring (48T or larger) I assume that one chainring without the derailleur changing mech, would need to be lipped on both sides to stop the chain from coming off??? I would like to...

    Swapping front chainring for larger size?

    So as long as the BB gets changed with the chainset, then compatible with most bikes?

    Swapping front chainring for larger size?

    Scouring eBay I came across this chainset: white suntour xcr octalink fitting mtb - bike crankset - chainset 48-38-28tooth | eBay My current setup still has the original Suntour SR chainset and pedal fixtures etc.., so assume this would be an easy swap over. What has confused me a...

    Swapping front chainring for larger size?

    I'm considering swapping the largest of the front chainrings to something larger. Then getting rid of the 7 speed DNP 11T for a better quality rear freewheel, but only 14T. I'm trying not to alter the cadence too much from my current setup. Currently I believe the front is 42/34/24. What...

    Consequence of sprocket size change?

    Apologies for hijacking this thread slightly, but can anyone point me to an online calculator to show final rear wheel rpm, when inputting the front chainring and rear gear size? Hope you get what I mean :o

    Max safe amps to charge 12v 20Ah SLA?

    Thanks for both replies. Unfortunately, even though it's branded, there's no info relating to max charging on the battery. Think I'll go with the 4 amp charger as Frank mentioned. Seems like a nice balance between charging speed and not vaporizing the battery :D

    In frame battery bag - where did you get yours ?

    Going back to the FalconEv diamond bag. I know it's a lot bigger than you need, but you could fit in a foam insert to the exact shape of the triangle. Then cut out individual slots for each Lipo. I've used 3" thick chair foam in mine. This way they would be highly protected from any road...
