i just got a e13 srs(east coast), i planned on running it on a banshee morphine, i was wanting to run a 40 tooth ring. so i mount the back plate and alls well, then i realize that the crank wont seat on the bb all the way because the chain ring is hitting, so i put a 36 tooth ring on and its still rubbing the frame, not as much this time but some and now the bashring is only mere mm's away from the chainstay. sorry if this doesnt make sense, any ideas? anyone else running this combo, uhg! im annoyed, thanks for the time
e13 on banshee morphine, uhg

well, maybe, banshee says run a 113mm, and that what i have, ?
but with a guard you might need a 118, most bikes do.
ok thank you, time to do some shopping
dont you own a file? That chainstay is way thick anyhow.
yeah, there an I-beam anyway you could get rid of one of those walls.BurlyShirley said:
well ive already done that but it still doesnt fit, bummer, maybe i could rig up a "slingshotish" design and remove the right stay all together......

Jonas will get you sorted out. Im assuming you will need a 118 spindle. As it was said before most long travel bikes that use a chainguide will use a 118.

thank you so much
The Morphie is a hardtail, right?
If the chainring is hitting the frame, then you will need to use a longer spindle for sure. Some frames that are designed to accept really large tires cant accept large gears at short spindle lengths. Sounds like a frame to gear incompatibility. Go longer on the spindle until it fits!

The morphines chain stays are real wide like DW says to fit big tires. I had similar issues with mine running bones cranks. I was able to spacer it heavily out to clear, but it wasnt perfect.
i put in a 118mm bb this morning and all is well, thank you!
i love the morphine. i wouldn't trade it for anything, but like you found it does have some limitations. but why do you want to run a 40t chainring. that is HUGE! personnally i have mine with a SS setup and i run 32/15, but before that i ran a 36t up front and 11-32 on the back and i never found myself out of gear.
well the 40 was a spare i ad, but i ended up needing a 38 tooth so everything would clear, all is good now, thanks for the help
actually the 38 that i thought would work didnt, the largest i could fit was a 36 tooth
best set up is to use a truvativ box guide. we had similar problems and this is what Banshee recomends. we put one one and it went on simple and works.
