February 6, 20224 yr Hey guys and girls, im new to the site and have a similar problem as i purchased a KMC super narrow 20 tooth chainring for bosch performance line cx gen 2, it fits snug in the splines but can slide laterally as the lock ring does not press against it. I will send a few photos, any advice would be much appreciated
February 6, 20224 yr was the sprocket you took off of set? ie spaced out from the motor so there was a gap?
February 7, 20224 yr was the sprocket you took off of set? ie spaced out from the motor so there was a gap? Thanks for you're quick reply, Yes it was a 16 tooth offset as the wheels are boost, i was thinking i might grind the original cog down and use it as a spacer.
February 7, 20224 yr Also is there any app for this website or a way to get notifications when receiving a reply?

February 7, 20224 yr https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/124728654778?hash=item1d0a683bba:g:OA4AAOSwpHpbKRAb this has a 2.5mm off set so if you can find a 20t one you can run a normal 18t behind it and then the lock ring you have will work. you could also grind of the thread of one lock ring and the use that as a spacer with another lock ring. the sprocket is off set for a reason so using one with no off set could wear the cassette down faster as the chain line wont be right.

I will try grinding the original cog first, if it does not work for whatever reason i will defo look at buying another cog from the site you mentioned above, thank you so much for taking the time to help me out, also is that your bike in video?
February 7, 20224 yr yes it is my bike but when i had it from new it had a haibike sprocket fitted so the lock ring is 2 times the thickness of a normal one and i cant find one for sale anywhere atm. might be a long shot but try peter and see if he has one or can get hold of one as fixes alot of bosch motors. https://www.ebikemotorcentre.com/ as you can see if i used that blue lock ring it is to short but will work with 2 sprockets on the front like in the vid above.

February 7, 20224 yr 18t normal and 20t with 2.5mm off set so i doubt grinding down 1 sprocket might not be enough.

February 7, 20224 yr i have 3 options for front sprockets. 1 20t dual 20t and 18t with the blue lock ring 18t xsync as use 12spd eagle you can not pull that chain off as locked on to it but only go up to 18t, haibike make a 20t one with xsync and its £100, and that one cost 20 quid 20t is about as far as you can go any more and it out gears the motor with 25t it is pretty much useless even on the flat.
February 8, 20224 yr id get some el wire https://www.instructables.com/Neon-Glow-Bike-With-EL-Wire-Kits/
February 8, 20224 yr id get some el wire https://www.instructables.com/Neon-Glow-Bike-With-EL-Wire-Kits/ looks cool but i'll think ill pass ha ha. I had a lezyne rear light on my dropper but it can easy be stolen as it has the rubber strap, so i used a couple old ps4 controller batteries and a snug lil switch, they have run about 2 hours total and still going
February 8, 20224 yr thats awesome, just wait till they can change colour cars will be like mobile tv screens
February 8, 20224 yr came home from a friends riding on the road and found a massive spider underneath the mudguard. carefully put him outside
February 17, 20224 yr hope everyone is well, been very busy lately but the modifications to the cog are finally underway. annoyingly though i have strange wear marks on every other tooth of the new sprocket i think thats why im feeling a buzzing in the frame (it is not audible only felt) Edited February 17, 20224 yr by Chris vicious
February 17, 20224 yr here is the cog with custom spacer on the shaft, still needs about 1mm shaved of but my main objective is keeping it level both sides
February 17, 20224 yr that spacer is way to thick as the sprocket is pushed to far out. indeed, im grinding it down by hand as we speak, it takes longer but i dont want it to thin as i want to make sure the lockring will compress againgst the sprocket
February 17, 20224 yr any ideas about the wear marks in first pic? it must be from the inner links but it never happened on the original cog, chain is kmc e11 so it should fit fine, maybe it is wearing in but still srange
