Durable drive chain

where is hippy when you need him? would be good to find out what he thinks of his chainring

I think it's funny they are both sitting unused in the original packing.. just as I told andy they would.

I'm still running 130bcd and the rings I bought are 144, for when I swap cranks.. these 600s are proving tough to break/wear.

I had forgotten about the fyxamatosis chainrings..
group buy to save on postage from Aus?

I just got back.. again. You twats should've asked me sooner.

well you could have dropped in while you were out there...

I have his chainrings already.. so I'm sorted.. it was you lot I was thinking about. Tut Tut

whoopsidaisies, didn't see that.

they have a 'you can't wear it out in a year' warranty on it, which mean they'll replace it if it wear out under a year, I think I'm going to get that over the Sugino Zen for my 75, the polished one look rather spiffing;

i'm wondering if one of you runs an alloy cog of some sort and can tell something of their wear over a chromo one.

i'm about to get a new chainset and gearing set up with 17t and am not sure whether to go alloy. my eai 16t shows wear after something of 6500 to 7500 mi. i would still run it but not together with an all new chainset i'm afraid. so velosolo cogs or maybe token comes to mind.

as they cost about the same as my eai, i wonder if i get near steel like life out of them, or if it cuts their use rather short in comparison.

Very short life on the road, they get absolutely wrecked at the first sign of any dirt on the chain. The only vaguely sensible use for aluminium sprockets is big ones for hill climb bikes, where you could save almost 100g on a 21t sprocket. On a 17t, the weight difference is around 30g, which is completely irrelevant anywhere a 17t is the right gear.

Steel, it would appear, is real.

currently using 20t fixed EAI alloy cog from Hubjub, and about 4000 miles later it's looking good as ever.

Like Mitre tester said, alloy is good and sufficient enough for big cogs.

edit,

just had a quick look to double check.

actually it it a bit worn, but not so much i have to replace it. I reckon another 4000 on this and i'll have to replace.

that does make a difference, quieter too............

Soooooooooooo, Tynan was right all along!!!

All this time you'd tried to fool us with all this deafness malarkey. But I now suggest its time that you give back your white cane and your motorised wheelchair. We've finally sussed you out Mr.PretendDeafMan.

How on earth would you know the difference two quiet things? You should hardly even know loud things!!

judgin by the wear of my 46 alloy chainring, i suspected it to be rather devastating on such a small sprocket like a 17t or smaller. well i get me the trusted steel eai or a dura ace then.

cheeers gois!

@gagz, hehehe
