you wanna hear something weird, i bought a set of bio-pace chain rings and put them on wrong,

did you realize that there are 5 ways to mount those things?

i'm like, "these things suck!" so i ripped the low and hi gears off and just used the middle ring for those long 7 mile climbs up Hwy 9 to Skyline and Montebello Rd. the middle bio-pace actually works better if you mount it wrong.

don't mind me, i'm just trying to get my 10 posts so i can upload pics.
Maybe it was mounted wrong to begin with?


Sorry, just re-read what you wrote- Maybe you did mount them right- or you mounted them 180 of right, which is still right...
