I have a three gear crank on an older diamond back mt bike. The BB/Crank combination I bought does not allow the chain to reach the high ring. How do I know what size of BB to allow the chain to reach all three rings on the crank?

I threw this very same Sunlite 103mm BB on an old Trek for the purpose of converting to single speed. Now depending on your frame..You may need a somewhat longer Spindle or BB.Or it could possibly be a Front derailleur adjustment issue.Good luck! Eddie

It is a top and bottom pull, works either way. Yes it will work on a triple crankset. I installed it on mine with a 52-42-32 triple.

This is for a double chainring crank.There is a trim click,that slightly moves the front derailleur to reduce chain noise,when shifted to extremes.Not made for triple chainrings.

It will work on any length spindle ---- spindle length (axle length of bottom bracket) determines the chainline. However you must have a square taper bb for this crankset to fit. If your bb is Shimano , Truevative, Suntour, etc, you should have no problem. If you have an off brand bb there could be a pitch (slant of the taper) issue though.

Put it in its highest gear front and back. Flip the bike upside down and unhook the cable. Adjust H (high limit) screw until the the chain comes off the derailer in perfect alignment with the sprocket. Turn crank slowly and look closely through the chain link as if meets the chain. Pull the cable snug by hand without moving the derailer and tighten. Test ride it through the gears. If it doesn't want to go to 7 put it back in high and see if cable is tight. If so screw the barrel adjuster on derailer in. If it isn't tight adjust the high limit screw again. If doesn't want to shift to first simply screw the barrel adjuster out ward. Once you get them all working keep it all clean and lubed as well as tweak and adjust as needed.

i think either version has a stated maximum of 44t chain ring. it is for triple cranks

The left is friction so it will do 2 or 3 chainrings on crank - versatile. Right is 7 spds, but I've used it w/ an 8 spd, you just miss a cog at top or bottom. Fyi: 6,7 & 8 speed use same basic chain & gear spacing, so interchangeability is nice.

Shimano offers both a 2x9 shifter (if you have two front chain rings) and a 3x9 (if you have three front chain rings). If you are not sure, go to your bike and count the chain rings on your crank. This is not a mistake. It reads as though you are looking for the 2x9 front shifter and not the 3x9.

Yes you need a rear derailleur hanger. Yes this will work with a 44T front crank chainring, the shimano crank set I paired this with was a 22, 32 44T, however I ended up taking the 44 off and replacing it with a bash guard. The largest you can go on the cassette is 36T.

I see you've been waiting for an answer for a long time. I have the very same question. It looks like on all the units I've seen that you have to thread the chain through them, which would be easy for chains on geared bikes. I'm gonna guess that it would be a problem using one of these which would be a shame.

I don't know for sure. there are three levels of tension in the front derailler to prevent rubbing on the derailler when the chain is at extremes but I do not think it is enough for three gears in the front.

This crankset does not come with a bottom bracket cartridge. The cartridge is a separate item that can be purchased on Amazon. I use this crankset with a 110mm BB Cartridge. But, you could use it with most any cartridge spindle length probably. I use a 110mm to get proper alignment with the rear cog set on my bikes. I remove the chainrings from this crankset and make a singlespeed crank out of it for my own purposes.

Yes, this is the three ring chain...30 teeth, 42 teeth, 52 teeth. I just put it on my Fuji Newest 3.0 this weekend. It works great. This includes cranks. You should, if you are going to the trouble of changing cranks and chain rings, change your bottom bracket as well.

You can combine this freewheel with any Crankset you want. Determining factor is the length of the chain.

I read up on the install for mine and was told that in order to keep the right alignment it should be in the inside of the crankset. Different bikes may line up differently, the important thing is the chain line. Make sure you are as close to center as possible on the casset. You may have to use spacers for the bottom bracket but I either way I think it mounts to the inside of the crankset. I am running a MRP chain guide with mine and it would not fit had I installed it on the outside. Good luck!

My set up: sram red compact crank and sram 1050 12-32 cassette...works fine, no issues, has been on my bike for over a year...though I did not determine the correct chain length, I had my LBS do it. : )

its going to make an old school crank, like a 1 piece design) adapt to a cartridge style bottom bracket, you decide the size of the bb, depending on the crank choice. hope that helps
