Ok i got the tools for the job (park bb tool and crank puller), and now my bike is finally complete....
No more 3 rings, no more 110mm stem, no more wandering chains....
E13 DRS and diabolus stem are on my SX. Pics will follow at some point...dont ask now... i am toasted... the crank puller required tremendous force as well as retightening bb and cranks ( Oly...no cheater bars here).
I owe many thanks to Jonas and Dave at E13 for sending me the spare parts needed with lightning speed across the atlantic to the UK. This is what customer service is, and this is what will make any company big in the future. Many thanks guys, and that includes all the monkies here that gave me precious advice... and Oly that helped me online with some installing details.
The chain now does not derrail when i back pedal on certain ring/cog combos, and the front end of the bike is easier to lift despite my inherent inability towards wheelies/manuals (i suck!).
Finally, many thanks to Roasted (Mark) and Slcpunk21 for slapping and bashing me ( that means advice) for having a long stem for such a long time, now i am at 70mm :evil:

for fitness and the SX for messing around....
