Cheap suntour crank chainring removal
*Scott*
Posts: 39
As title, I have a cheapie suntour crank that I need to single speed for my wifes bike.
The chainrings are/seem to be fitted usuing a kind of stud/rivet with no ability to unscrew.
The bcd is 104 and I would like to fit a s/s specific chainring which I already have, my question is, if I grind off the tops of the rivets will it be as normal for fitting a new chainring ?
i.e holes of appropriate size etc.
To look at, it all seems straightforward, just want a little tech guidance .....

why do you need to?that I need to single speed for my wifes bike.
to be honest, you'd probably be better off getting some cranks with bolt-on chainrings. Iseverely doubt that the rivet hole will be the same size as a chainring bolt. The bolts are pretty damned big.0 -
