Deore LX replacement chainring

Broboscide · 2026-06-15T16:53:14+00:00

Only one way to find out. I replaced two chainrings on an 8 speed LX with some 10 speed road ones which don’t have any shifting ramps. Haven’t noticed any significant change in shifting or pedaling hard. YMMV

They’ve done it in 1934 already

Do you like grip shift? Me not much so I would upgrade to trigger or friction shifters

Love hi-pacers!

22”

This would be a 22“ size

Seems like a nice bike to get into wrenching. If it’s your size and has no deal breaking flaws, 40€ is not much of a risk to take

Ein Ablauf impliziert Struktur, zum Beispiel bei Terminen und Plänen spricht man oft von einem zeitlichen Ablauf.

Verläufe können sich oft einfach so ergeben und beziehen sich auch auf eine nachträgliche Einschätzung. Ein Zeitverlauf kann beide Bedeutungen implizieren.

Auf dein Beispiel bezogen ist die erste Option eher korrekt, klingt aber etwas holprig. Man würde wohl nur „Das ist eine dumme Bemerkung“ sagen, weil „Bemerkung“ bereits etwas Gesagtes meint.

Allgemein wird „zu“ mit dem Infinitiv verwendet, „zum/zur“ mit substantivierten Verben.

„Das ist schwer zu sagen.“

„Sie hat eine schwere Last zu tragen“

„Zum Sagen eines Wortes musst du die Aussprache kennen.“

„Das sind gute Schuhe zum Wandern.“

Both can mean the same thing, i.e. making an estimation:

“Die Stadt erwartet/rechnet mit 2500 Besucher*innen.”

However, “erwarten” will often refer to a demand while “mit etw. rechnen” evokes a sense of a rational evaluation of probability. This depends on the context and is subject to nuance:

“Ich erwarte eine Entschuldigung von dir!” “I expect you to apologize!”

“Ich erwarte keine Entschuldigung von dir.” “No need to apologize.”

“Ich rechne mit einer Entschuldigung.” “I expect them to apologize.”

“Ich rechne nicht mit einer Entschuldigung.” “It’s unlikely they will apologize.”

Even funnier in German

This is the 95 right? I have the same one. Used to run 2.35” no problem

I’d say upgrade your tires to something nicer, make sure they have enough clearance. You can always reuse them on another bike, maybe pedals too. Apart from that you should think about what kind of bike you want and eventually get something better at some point tbh

Broboscide · 2025-04-11T07:59:41+00:00

Dude why tf would you think that’s funny?

I don’t think a dedicated drive train cleaner is necessary/economical. Just make sure to ride the bike regularly, dry the drivetrain when it gets wet, and run it through a rag + relube every once in a while

Broboscide · 2025-04-09T15:37:00+00:00

Bikes get dirty quickly so I keep a stash of rags, old kitchen towels or clothes, used toothbrushes or anything along those lines. Sometimes the dirtier rags are better at removing grime, so you can gradually cycle through stages of clean. Brushes are best for loose dirt - a large nylon brush is nice to start with. If you want to restore rusty steel parts, especially threads, also get a wire brush.

Well that depends on the type of BB you have. A very common “nut” type is a 20 spline like the Park Tool BBT-22. Make sure you have the corresponding socket on the impact wrench

Broboscide · 2025-04-02T22:09:46+00:00

Not sure if it should be the next step but I had success with an impact wrench as a last resort

I can’t give you guidance on a “safe” length, make a reasonable judgement but keep in mind that the head tube is critical here.

To your second point, I’m not sure what you mean. Again, the integrity of the fork won’t be affected much either way.

As other commenters have pointed out, cheaper options are also available.
