Anyway, new blue bling for the bike. Should probably get some blue crank boots...

Yes, did a bit of googling early this morning and found a thread on the other forum talking about the 30t being threaded. When I got the gravel bike out this morning I had a quick look and yes, it's threaded. No idea how I missed that last night...Bearlegged wrote: ↑Thu Nov 09, 2023 12:34 am Do the male parts of the bolts thread directly into the chainring?
It's a Hope Retainer Ring, to match the Hope bottom bracket and pedals.redefined_cycles wrote: ↑Thu Nov 09, 2023 1:15 am What model no of chainring have you bought there pls Bob![]()
Aha... So the answer is that it threads straight into the retainer ring and then the nut comes from other side (through the holes in the crank arms) and thread straight into this threaded bolts - I think the newer single specific Shimano cranks just have the bolt come straight throughy the chainring holes and bolt straight into the threaded holes on the crank arms.Boab wrote: ↑Thu Nov 09, 2023 11:53 amYes, did a bit of googling early this morning and found a thread on the other forum talking about the 30t being threaded.

Alex rode it through Strata Florida, the seal would have been under muddy water for extended periods with the fork being activeAlex thats a shocking amount of wear for one ride, wet or no

Sorry GDT, yes it's nearby to Hebden Bridge but this one starts at Mytholmroyd and ends at Blackstone Edge Res. There's actually a counter claim to the longest continous ascent in Britain but apparently the other one has a tiny dip, though it climbs more.godivatrailrider wrote: ↑Thu Dec 07, 2023 7:54 amis it from Hebden Bridge up to a reservoir ?

As a condition of replacing the frame under warranty, for the 3rd time due to cracking, I was required to cut off the headtube and send them photos. I'd thought of turning thinner rear triangle tubes into wind chimes, but what to do with the downtube? A cat hole trowel seemed appropriate given their pile of poo QA so ended up with this.
Thought the retention of the Van Nicholas logo was a nice touch.
Not bitter or anything![]()
