I think I have a good SS chain. I don’t know what a cut plate chain ring is though. Don’t make me google it.Hi team - I need a chain for a kids bike. Do I just grab a single speed chain or a 6/7/8 speed chain for it? the last owner cut it to make the bike a balance bike.
Link length is the same, width is different.It depends...was it a single speed or a 6/7/8 to begin with? The link lengths are different...
Sorry - that was just me trying to describe the level of sophistication of the bike. The chain ring is not a flashy machined item like an MTB, it is flat disk with teeth.I think I have a good SS chain. I don’t know what a cut plate chain ring is though. Don’t make me google it.
I think the SS, track and BMX chains (AKA most non multi speed chains) are all 1/8".Link length is the same, width is different.
Multi-speed chain is too narrow to fit over fat SS gear teeth.
Cool. If an SS chain will work, I got that...at least it came on an SS bike, and it’s wider than MTB chains. Yours if any use.Sorry - that was just me trying to describe the level of sophistication of the bike. The chain ring is not a flashy machined item like an MTB, it is flat disk with teeth.
Is it really microwave safe though?Cool. If an SS chain will work, I got that...at least it came on an SS bike, and it’s wider than MTB chains. Yours if any use. View attachment 365681
Hmm...BRB.Is it really microwave safe though?
All good sir. i added a cheapy chain to my order from Pushy's as i needed some tires for it as well. thank you for the kind offer.Cool. If an SS chain will work, I got that...at least it came on an SS bike, and it’s wider than MTB chains. Yours if any use.
I’ll post it anyway if you think you can use it. I can’t see that I will.All good sir. i added a cheapy chain to my order from Pushy's as i needed some tires for it as well. thank you for the kind offer.
Can only speak to Shimano, but depends what you’re after? I like XT levers with zee 4 pot calipers, only because the XT Levers have more adjustment. In a perfect world, Saint would rock, but can’t afford and really don’t need the power. I run straight XT on almost all bikes.Is most of the difference in brakes (eg Code vs Guide) at the lever/reservoir end with the caliper end being very similar, or are there major differences that would make it pointless to match a code lever with a guuee caliper?
and offset, usually 27.5 was 44, now 37, 29 was 51, now 42recent rockshox forks, i'm looking at lyrik
what is the is difference from 27.5 to 29er?
is it the height of the arch of the lowers?
code ships metal,pads, guide organic, calipers is diff, new guide uses old code calipers though. one has a carbon lever i think- or that may be the code rsc, code has an extra adjustment at the lever. matching code lever w guide calipers is fine..is it a g2 calipers or old guide?Is most of the difference in brakes (eg Code vs Guide) at the lever/reservoir end with the caliper end being very similar, or are there major differences that would make it pointless to match a code lever with a guuee caliper?
great answer to a brand he didn’t ask aboutCan only speak to Shimano, but depends what you’re after?
And which I clearly clarified. Purely offering an opinion based on a similar example.code ships metal,pads, guide organic, calipers is diff, new guide uses old code calipers though. one has a carbon lever i think- or that may be the code rsc, code has an extra adjustment at the lever. matching code lever w guide calipers is fine..is it a g2 calipers or old guide?

It's for a mate who's looking to upgrade as he hates the feel of the Guides (as do I). It's a question of whether he needs to buy the whole 'kit' or just try to source the lever end of some Codes to get the Code feel and power without needing to replace everything. Lever reach/adjsutement is much less important than stopping powerCan only speak to Shimano, but depends what you’re after?

With the Guide/code, as long as still 4 pot calipers, I would imagine that the main difference in levers is also just in the lever adjustment.
I know it’s purely personal, but aside from any other gripes with SRAM brakes, I hate the lever feel of them immediately coming on. I much prefer the Shimano 1/4 of free play on the lever before anything happens, than a more immediate feel.It's for a mate who's looking to upgrade as he hates the feel of the Guides (as do I).
