We got some bikes in at the shop, I'll try and build one with new Sora next time I'm in.

thanks Steiknein

If it still won't center after the above, try remounting the chainring two bolt holes off (ideally you'd want to move it 180 degrees.)

Yesterday, I crossed the 2000 fixed-gear-miles mark for the year. :)

Nobody's gonna answer me? awe...

Do you have to center all chainrings, or just ones that are out of round?

If your chain tension does not vary based on crank position, I think it's safe to say you don't need to center the chainring. All lower-end cranks I've used have needed this done. Didn't need to do it on my Omniums, even if I didn't like them.

Alright, sweet. guess I'm good.

Resting today because my legs are beat. I don't know how accurate Strava's climbing measurements are, but it says I did a little over 2000ft on my ride yesterday.

i usually run low/mid range cranks. currently FSA Gimondi (yes, i'm a Campy poser, but they make me happy) and they've all needed to be centered. some rings are rounder than others though....

Thanks. I've never noticed any difference in chain tension through each revolution, although I've never checked. I'll take a look at it when I get home. Hoping it's unnecessary, or I'm gonna want to know why 7710's are so expensive.


Today I math test.

Today I woke up hungover and with sore legs. Decided to take a day off of the bike. Riding the train around listening to Diplo cuz I'm bored. Not bad.

"Centering" a chainring that isn't round to begin with won't magically make it round.

Today when I picked up my ride from the lbs I found out I had another broken spoke on the back wheel... no more sweet jumps for me... :(

then whats the point?

you can make it "better". just not perfect.

ah.

My apex has over 7000 miles on it riding in pretty harsh conditions and if you take care of it it shifts great just like most products.

buddy of mine -finally- came out today. wanted us to act surprised. not.

ordered a new Marathon Plus and threw in some synthetic (ie: rain proof) mtb shoes with the 21% off Nashbar coupon.

It's also the one of the CX gruppo's of choice. If it can handle that, it can handle anything.

Truth. Also having the 32 tooth cassette in the back negates needing a triple for long days of climbing or touring. It is genius. Well, almost as genius as the new xx1.

Today i rode to work in temperatures in the 30's for the first time this year. Maybe some snow this weekend.

Today I: received my order from scrod, opened it and the amount of hate inside is only fitting for the chain that I ordered among other things. :D

I posted my first impressions along with some comparison pics in the what did you just buy for your bike thread.

Hahaha, best stickers.

Find jasonsuperb on instagram and he has one of these on his shop window.

SOB!!!!! broke a chainring bolt! and Scrod is out of the knurled. ordered a set of Brev from the'Bay.

i'm just going to step away now. thankfully my chainring is centered now, even missing a bolt. almost no variation in tension during revolution....

No hate, just reality.

Yeah, and he cut the url off like a little *****.

I think you still win.
