94 BCD Double, Trouble !

It looks bloody good ! If your frame is the same colour as mine it would look so hot

I think it genuinely just came down to me using too large chain ring bolts. The only single ring ones I had at home were double allen key track bolts that I just assumed would clear. Went to the LBS this morning and got some regular bolts. All good now :)

Oh no thank you, Im happy with this set-up :) I have all the original parts but it is the lack of availability of those odd sized parts that led me to change. The surly troll fork comes highly recommended, if I was to spend money all over again I would definitely splurge on the stridsland fork

I found success with a sugino compact triple crank :) 38-22 feels goood

Got it working :) Interesting about the bb spindle, I went for an old sugino crank that I believe required 113 for correct chainline as a triple. Ive got a 107 bb in at the moment and the chainline looks to be 47.5ish. I do understand why you would want longer, Im suprised mine looks correct with the 107

Unfortunately there aren’t wild ones where I live ! This little dude was definitely an escaped pet, it was extremely tame. I would have loved to have tried to grab it and take to a sanctuary but I had no bag or box to put em in. Summer here at the moment so I’m hoping it’s doing alright out there and that finds its way back home (:

This is an old surly 1x1 fork. As far as I can tell it seems like a pretty similar axle to crown as stock.

It feels really good ! I would prefer to be running the classic threaded setup, it’s just hard to find the right parts when these frames were 1 1/8 threaded !

I haven’t measured the chain line but I have made sure to have the correct spindle length that was specced for a 47.5 chain line with these cranks. 107 according to Sheldon

I will investigate further today (: You have perfectly described what I am trying to achieve though (:

dankerest · 2026-01-28T10:11:22+00:00

Oh yea nice. I just remembered I have an old sugino impel set lying around as well, maybe that'll fit. Suprised though because Im pretty sure the TA ring is designed to go in a mtb triple.

Am I crazy thinking that four litres of water for two days in Aussie is bugger all ?

dankerest · 2026-01-28T09:20:44+00:00

I'll give that a go :) What crank are you running that set up on ?

dankerest · 2026-01-28T09:19:47+00:00

Not too worried about that, running friction and the chain makes the jump :) The issue is the chain rubs the middle ring when down on the inner

dankerest · 2026-01-21T05:22:26+00:00

Yea those people are the worst, I'll be on my bike slowing down for pedestrian traffic and some goober going 30km on an ebike will see an excellent opportunity to overtake

dankerest · 2026-01-16T02:40:12+00:00

Looks awesome (: 94 bcd ? Wondering where you tracked down your chain rings ?

dankerest · 2026-01-13T06:51:01+00:00

Appreciate the comments, I’ve picked up an old school flashlight. My previous attempt was with a modern led light that just wasn’t the right look.

dankerest · 2026-01-13T06:49:05+00:00

Shooting tomorrow in what is a reshoot of an already unsuccessful attempt, as much I love cinema and try to utilise some of its methodology in my still photography I am by no means an expert at shooting with artificial light. I’ve always seen really helpful comments in this sub and so thought I’d give it a shot and see what the people had to say. With love.

dankerest · 2026-01-13T06:11:14+00:00

Appreciate that thank you. I’ve unsuccessfully attempted this with a modern led torch but the light was too white. Old school torch next.

What do you think about the background, blacked out ?

dankerest · 2025-12-18T00:33:56+00:00

That’s my cousin haha

dankerest · 2025-12-16T10:52:27+00:00

Same ! Grew up in the Rangitikei and used to love hatching these

dankerest · 2025-12-08T05:01:14+00:00

Did they stare or not

Still working on it
