Given the scarcity of shimano parts these days, maybe so...

Might be easier to manufacture in 2 pieces - tamper proof bits are so the end user doesn't try and disassemble as its not supposed to be.
Looks like it might use the same tool as center lock rotors and is just a DM chainring.

NX aint looking so bad now!

Isn't the end of the bolt peened over? You will have to tell us.

If so, it's effectively "riveted".

Not peened. I'm not going to mark the bolt heads just to try it, but they will unscrew.

Every tamper proof torx bit I've had in the past has cracked without too much force. Just doesn't seem to have enough meat. Definitely increases the tamper proof factor though

Whats the point in taking it apart when the replacement rings will have the DM mount attached anyway...

Probably like the OneUp system. 4% cheaper to replace just the ring.

Woo hoo! Two packages in one day.

Working from home means assembling bikes right...?

Please tell me there's SOMETHING Hope SOMEWHERE on the bike?

Accepting donations.

Im thinking the frame is enough over priced bling for one bike...

I'll swap you a few Hope bits for that roughly manufactured old bit of alloy.

Plenty of hope, not much Hope

Totally. What work?
Expecting to see the finished product by 3pm this afternoon. Get cracking!

 

[moorey]

Get cracking!

It's an Orange....that won't happen until about 4.30

You're a public servant...it means lots of things that aren't work.


I work near near a large Commonwealth government agency. Today was their first big day back...so many large groups coming in for coffee! We'd like to dine in, but in a takeaway cup in case we have to rush back...people! I know where you work, the commissioner isn't going to call you today and nothing to udo is important enough to rush back from.


So many take away cups to throw in the bin.
