Re: The MTB thread
Some good stuff in the CRC clearance just now, worth taking a look. Just bought meself a new Last Herb downhill frame
 A mere £1400 discount.Last one they had in stock though so hopefully it'll not turn out to be lost in the warehouse like last time...

Re: The MTB thread
Howdy, anyone got a view on Funn's products?
Reason i ask is this looks like a cracking discount......or is it? http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/M...?ModelID=38743 Also was thinking this might be a shout from raceface; http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/M...?ModelID=47593 Thoughts oh fellow orgers.

Re: The MTB thread
FUNN gear is solid and dependable , the same can be said for RaceFace , for that kind of money it`s a steal .

Re: The MTB thread
Unfortunately, my bike has 73mm cups, whereas the Funn stuff is the larger size. Am i right in saying that if you have 73mm you cant use 83mm. Presuming spacers wouldnt work?

Re: The MTB thread
Spacers would work , you would have to unscrew your BB and fit the spacers in there , it`s something to do with your chainline . These chainsets are aimed at All Mountain which tend to be a bit on the Burly side , they fit the wider Bottom Bracket but offset them by coming back in on the spider and bringing the chainrings in closer . On a 73mm BB these can bring them dangerously close to the frame . I would aim for one that is designed for your BB size really , just to be on the safe side

Re: The MTB thread
Probably will ignore the Sunn theN and look at the raceface which is 73 i believe.

Re: The MTB thread
You could space it out but it'll leave hardly any thread in the frame and mess up the chainline, so not a good idea...

Re: The MTB thread
Cheers to you both. Looking at the raceface one linked above....i am presuming they are 73mm, as the 83mm is listed seperately.
I already have a double and bash, with chain guard. Its the cheap truvativ one it comes with as standard, so thought this would be a useful upgrade......plus the old one can be used on my singlespeed mtb as the deore drank on that is knackered.

Re: The MTB thread
Never presume anything with bike parts , Ask them , I am sure there is an "ask me a question about this product" button somewhere

Re: The MTB thread
I had a set of old RIde XCs, they were fine... Seems a good price, Raceface bottom brackets are pish mind but Shimano ones fit once it wears out
