September 10, 20232 yr Hi, I need to fit a new drive train to my Vulcan, I think I have the correct rear cassette and chain, links below, but I`m unsure about the chainring to get, specs say its a Suntour – Double Chain Guard – 42T – Alloy but when I do a search for that it brings up loads of options. Can anyone help me source the correct parts for it, or other options. I got the info for parts I need from here https://bestbikeselect.com/carrera-vulcan-e-electric-mountain-bike-review/#google_vignette Thanks, Johnny. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cassette-Speed-Cs-HG200-36-Teeth/dp/B071KF8F8J https://www.amazon.co.uk/KMC-Unisexs-Chain-Grey-Link/dp/B07J38GX7L/ref=pd_bxgy_img_sccl_1/259-6334451-9421219?pd_rd_w=pde9I&content-id=amzn1.sym.40f919ed-e530-4b1a-8d7e-39de6587208d&pf_rd_p=40f919ed-e530-4b1a-8d7e-39de6587208d&pf_rd_r=1M09T4JG61C5E74HKCQ5&pd_rd_wg=aDLr0&pd_rd_r=988fa75e-93e5-4101-8982-5a0f963c72e0&pd_rd_i=B07J38GX7L&th=1

Someone will know what it is then!

September 10, 20232 yr Thanks for that, that one linked is sold, do they only come with the guard or can you buy the chainring separately. The only ones I've seen are the complete assembly with the torque sensor, and new ones were very expensive at about £200 plus. It's at this point I'd be thinking about chucking the Suntour system and fitting a conventional one. Just keep the motor and battery, though you might have to replace the BMS in the battery if you don't have a two-wire one. Cost of replacement is about £80 plus about £20 if you have to change the BMS.
September 10, 20232 yr Author Thanks for that, that sounds a better option, I might start another thread to see what I need to do it, and to find out how to do it.
