I am getting my new SRS and my old SRS had a unnormally large gap inbetween the top guide and the bash. Can someone post detailed pictures of the top guide and the bashring, specifically the gap inbetween. Thanks alot and the help is needed.

Or could someone tell me what might be wrong with mine?

 

[DirtyMike]

I dont have Any Pics.... can you post some of yours?

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

My camera stuff is at school. If you can understand how I am trying to say this, I will try. How close is the gap between the top guide and the bash ring supposed to be? Mine is around a quarter of an inch and at one point it was giving it so much room the chain could fall off. I changed BB's at it helped alot, but I don't know what else is wrong. It seems the gap is still a little large.

 

[DirtyMike]

Hmmmm.... ALmost sounds as if your BB is just too long.... Making the Bash ring sit out too far. My Chain Just about rubs the Inner guide... 113 mm bb

 

[narlus]

how could changing bottom brackets affect that gap's dimension?

i don't have my info handy, but i thought you wanted that gap as small as possible w/o hitting the chain on the top of the slider. there are two parallel grooves where you can adjust the distance of the top slider.

or maybe i'm totally missing your question

 

[narlus]

ok, i think i understand now... you are talking about the inner plate.

this can be spaced out w/ bb spacers or the spaces which come w/ the kit.

 

[Banshee Rider]

The gap is way to big by your description. I have around 2-3mm on mine. Its an easy fix. If your chainline is optimal and your cranks are evenly spaced on each side then all you have to do is space the boomerang out with the provided washers. If your cranks are unevenly spaced and your chainline is not perfect, then use bottom bracket spacers until it's set up correctly. You should not have that big of a gap between your top guide and bashring.

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

Changing BB helped because the one I had originally was to long. So if I played around with BB spacers I might be able to get it closer? If my cranks arn't evenly spaced, whats a fix for that? How would I space the boomerang out if it connects to the ISCG mounts? I will try and post pictures tomorrow.

 

[DirtyMike]

What Length is your BB now???... And what type?... adjustable or none?.. If ya get some pics we can better see whats happening

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

The BB i think is a 118 on a Ventana El Curevo. Truvative, non adjustable. It has a shorter drive side spendal than my old one though so it helped a bit.

 

[DirtyMike]

Try a Higher End Raceface that you can adjust your center point on. Yeah 118 seems pretty long for a single speed... Maybe a 13 or possibly a 110 something like that... But an Adjustable you can just move your cranks arms around till you get them were you want them

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

I am going to stick with a shorter Truvative probley. A 113 is what I need, got one for sale? I got it working right now where it is fine, but me and my bikes love to be in perfect working order. I am going to search around tomorrow and see what I find. If a bottom bracket is to short, can it still work, or will forces break it?

 

[dhkid]

is the space between the top guide and bash verticall or horizontal? if its verticall, the space should be 3mm. horizontally, as long as the bottom guide tab is alligned, you can just bend the top guide so its spaced ok. the way i check the top guide is just put your bike in its lowest gear and bend the top guide around so that you can just see some light between the guide and chain. otherwise just give dw or anyone at e13 a buzz.. there have the best cs i know of.

 

[DirtyMike]

If its too short Youll Prolly have your cranks hitting the frame/ or Ring hitting the guide plate


If 113 is what your Bike calls for that is what i would stick with

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

Go-Ride said the 118 would work fine, but maybe I have something wrong. Should I think about a new bottom bracket or just wait and play with spacers?

 

[WheelieMan]

A 113mm bb is too narrow for 150mm rear spacing. Add a couple spacers.

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

Awsome. Thanks wheelieman. Now... Which side would the spacers be put on if the bash is to far over to the left?

 

[DirtyMike]

What kind of bike you have?... i havent dealt with goride all that much myself....But i would check with the Man. Directly and as far as 113 being to small for a 150 rear...... VP Free SC tells you to use a 113 and its a 150 rear. So Different Manufactures different specs

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

Ventana El Curevo. It doesn't say anything on the website. Can I get by with a good chain line and a good SRS setup if I just use BB spacers?

 

[DirtyMike]

Possible, Usually your usins the BB spacers because your bike has a 68 MM shell and the bb is for a 73. Which i doubt on yours...... You can get a Decent Truvativ for about 50 bucks from Your LBS... Couple things to remember when your trying to get the Right BB though. Crank type, Bike setup Rear suspension width. Honestly would Suggest calling the Man. and telling them what your doing They should be able to tell you which BB and how to set it up properly.... The VPfree Had some Issues installing also. As far as your SrS spacing to the ring.... Once you are sure your BB is Proper for the Apliccation at Hand, if your still to far out you should have gotten two sets of screws that mount the Boomerang and some Washers.... Can just basically shim it out. Let me know what ya find out Always nice to have Info on hand

No, you need to put spacers on the ISCG bolts to space out the backplate.

Well it depends on how many chainrings you run. Normally with a single ring, 73mm shell and 150mm spacing, a 128mm bottom bracket will provide ideal chainline.

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

No, you need to put spacers on the ISCG bolts to space out the backplate.

So I need to just throw in small washers under the guide plate against the ISCG tabs? Is that safe? It seems like those bolts are so short.

i am Not familiar with the Bike he Has i was just using the VP for an example. SC Tells you to use a 118 for triple and a 113 for single, Each bike setup is always different. Fiddled with the VP for prolly four hours before i called SC. They knew already the problems with that CG witht hat bike..... You had to make a Cut in the Boomerang. Point is Call Manf. to see if they have Better Info or possibly a more direct answer

There should be more than one set... if you didnt get them E13 will give them to you

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

I just ordered a new SRS from Go-Ride, the 06'. Should it come with said spacers?

Should have everything you need in the packaging...... Its normal to have extra parts when your done

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

Sorry, but I think I might be confused? More than one set of what? Are we talking about the bolts that go through the guide into the frame?

 

[DirtyMike]

Yes there should be a Short set and a Longer set

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

Oh this is the first one I have ordered. The others, friends got for me. Great, so I should use the longer set and does it come with washers to put behind them or should I use my own?

 

[WheelieMan]

Directions are included with the guide!

 

[DirtyMike]

It should Come with them. If not then Use some High quality washers so that you get them to be as close to each other in size as possible<Thickness> Add one washer at time till you get the spacing your looking for. Once the Srs is set up they are a Great Guide system. E13 CS is pretty cool too so if your missing ny parts Holler a them

 

[DirtyMike]

Hmmm almost seems this one should have been in a chat room <Laughs>

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

Very true. Should I still put in a spacer in my BB?

 

[DirtyMike]

Use your spacers on teh BB first to get your chain line set them Space the Inner plate

I fyour using a Truvativ Non adjustable only spacer to use would be if you had a 68 MM shell

 

[WheelieMan]

Very true. Should I still put in a spacer in my BB?

No, spacing out your bottom bracket will only make the problem worse.

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

I'm getting two different answer. Which one?

 

[DirtyMike]

Lol Which BB you using?

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

Truvative.

 

[DirtyMike]

kk If your Bike has a 73 MM shel.... No spacer.... if a 68 .... spacer

For the BB that is

Then Once you have it in Use Spacers to get your Plate sitting Properly with the chain ring

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

Ok I understand that. Thank you.
