Karlo said...: Nice Crusade! I just ordered today the Mash SSCX.
I am trying to find the perfect and cheap components...And I have a question for you!
What is your crankset? I am thinking about having 2 cogs on a flip flop hub. I am trying to get a good ratio for speeding in the city and another, for off road cross.
How many teeth should have the cogs and crankset? Any advice?
Thanks man!; December 5, 2012 at 6:24 AM
Jussi said...: Hi Karlo, thanks.
The cranks on my Crusade are SRAM 300 1.1, they're pretty nice, I like the GXP BB but the huge 48t chainring that comes with the cranks is pretty crappy. I can def recommend the set anyway.

As for gearing I've been running different combos, 42x18/19/20 for winter communing in snow, gravel path rides, easy off-road trails, cx racing etc. So it all really dependes on many things.; December 5, 2012 at 10:04 AM
Karlo said...: Thanks for your answer.
Last question :)
Do you know the difference between these 2 items?

Jussi said...: Well, they appear to be the same except for the price and the more expensive set has a chainring for "10-speed chain". Bit strange.

Maybe they're different year models with some difference in the chainring. I'd buy the cheaper one as you should anyway get a smaller 1/8" chainring from Ebay or somewhere.; December 6, 2012 at 10:30 PM
Karlo said...: Thanks man, you helped me a lot.
