That's excactly what I did. Worked fine. I do still use one of those silly reflector thingies to keep my pants out of the way on the rare occasion that I ride in long pants. On Friday, September 1, 2017 at 5:25:43 PM UTC+3, lum gim fong wrote: > > Gorgeous pic of your crank, Ron! > > So a quick

I recently put what is essentially the Riv package on my wife's updated city bike, using 170mm XD2 arms, 40/28t rings and a bashguard from Spa Cycles (http://www.spacycles.co.uk/m2b0s210p3655/SPA-CYCLES-Alloy-Chainguard-110-BCD). One thing to keep in mind about the XD arms is that they are

Gorgeous pic of your crank, Ron! So a quick email to Rivendell confirmed that the XT two triple and wide load double are indeed the same crank spiders. And so I ordered a 40 tooth chain ring and I'll keep the 24 that came with my triple on their stock. And I'm going to run the 40 ring with a

I agree with all of the positive comments about the XD2 wide/low on this post. I have an old 1970's vintage Fuji Finest that I had converted to a single speed. And that served me just fine for many years on most trails in the area. Then I gradually got to the point where some of the steeper

i consider this to be a feature. more than once i have swapped outer ring for bashguard and back again. its pretty easy to find a double crank, but finding one with a matching, good looking, bash guard is much much harder. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

Correct. They sell the triple and double-with-guard for the same price, same for the Silver variants. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to

[RBW] Re: How Do you like the XD2 wide/low double crank RBW sells?

Wait. So the xd2 triple and xd2 double cranks are identical. Both triple cranks. Just RBW puts 2 chainrings and a bguard on the xd2 triple, and then just calls and sells it as a double? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To

The guard does everything you could ask of it. On a single track one day, mine landed square on a large rock, and I thought one of us for sure had to be damaged. On close inspection, there was not a mark on anything - the bash guard did its job. Before randomly changing drivetrain teeth

Like Jay, I didn't buy the XD2 wide/low double. But I was riding a 26-36-46 triple XD2 and found the 36 a little low, so I put a 46 in the middle (I didn't use the ring that came with the crank because it was ramped & pinned) and put an old 52 with the teeth cut off on the outside. I rode it

[RBW] Re: How Do you like the XD2 wide/low double crank RBW sells?

I have a photo of mine (custom rings matched with custom Miche cassette) The crank is a triple, using the 110 outer position for the chain guard, the outer ring then is the 110 inner position, and the small ring is on the 74mm position. 42T is the largest ring

[RBW] Re: How Do you like the XD2 wide/low double crank RBW sells?

When Riv 1st came out with this the idea really appealed to me. Since I already had the triple I bought the guard and 40 T ring and put it together myself. I was using a 9 speed 11-34 cassette at the time so that essentially gave my 1X9 for every day and the lower range if and when needed.
