I have a Cannondale Quick 5 bike that uses a Shimano riveted M13148/38/28 crank set. Will the chain align okay with the Nuvinci N360 hub I want to install in the rear?
Maukaman.....
I was searching on the web and looks like I found one. The new Alivio crankset looks like it will work. I think I will need larger bolts as I read from others who used the Saint chainring to mount onto another crankset. The Alivio crankset cost $40.24 new and with free shipping from Amazon. Hope it works. Both Saint and Alivio is a 104bcd. Now I gotta find the right specs for the bolts and see if I can find them Maukaman...
