Question for biopace buffs
I'm running a Shimano R100 crank and a 42t biopace chainring (130 bcd) on my fixie. The set up suits me fine except for one thing: the crank arm won't accept other 130 bcd chainrings. When I tried putting on a Sugino, for example, it wouldn't quite fit.
Is there a reason for this?

My bad on mentioning Sugino (I have many Sugino rings, alas). The round ring I tried slapping on was indeed a 130. But perhaps it's worth another try. Thanks.

I've worked with many, many Shimano cranksets that came stock with Biopace rings; all took the standard 110/130 BCD round rings with no problems.
