Hi

On my identiti frame im running gusset pigmy cranks and a 44T Dh ring from blackspire, when puttin it all together the other day i noticed that my ring points inwards slightly. Could this be due to me not doing the chainring bolts in opposites? As i did them by just going round them, could this have caused it to seat wrong?

It doesnt affect my gears or pedalling, just annoying when you look down and the ring isnt straight.

    imposible unless the ring is bent but then you would see it when you turn the cranks.

  • As you turn the cranks does the in bit point in the same direction or does it move with the ring as you spin the cranks? If it stays in the same place then I think that means you have a bend crank axle whereas if it moves round then it is a bent ring.
