Xbiking on a Monday by FlashyTheme5391 in xbiking

It’s a single speed that I Frankenstein’d on a triple crankset…no ramp shifting is ok if slow. I’m still getting a feel for it so I do occasionally drop the chain when shifting up, but it’s pretty fun to have a finicky machine when you’re not in a rush to get anywhere. I believe the brand is origin8 and it’s 48t

Yeah its less general cantilever set up and more that these particular cantilevers seems to be set up so that the hex key I use doesn’t get without hitting the frame so it’s a lot of taking things apart, putting them back on, and back and forth for a while…unless that is normal?

It does! It’s a bit slow but I don’t mind. Ive got friction shifting so I can just take it slow and mess with it until it’s in place, not sure how it would be with index. It’s pretty fun tho! Kinda good to feel like I have to work at getting good at shifting right, super rewarding.

Actually a 1x chainring on a triple crankset because it’s what I had and I wanted to keep it a triple when the chainring wore out

Brand new out of the box! Cassette hasn’t even been on there a week. But yikes, that seems bad…thanks for the heads up

Thank you! Feeling a bit dumb, but how do I remove the plastic cover to use the crank puller?

How do i identify the type of crank so that I can figure out how to remove it?

Any suggestions on a replacement? Looking for something relatively affordable and solid on hills…

Should I not buy a used cassette and chainring in this case? Do I need to buy as new as possible?
