Just wondering, what BCD is this?

-Brett

Its gotta be 110

why 35T, if they are 110BCD you could go to 33T

It seems as if most people are bottoming out the MKE Polo guards which are also 35t. I.e running the biggest freewheel possible (22t). Most people are happy with with this ratio, but i bet, with the opportunity (and especially if you play on a small court) there are people out there that could find themselves happier with something smaller again. At the moment with the polo guard, smaller than 35 x 22 just isn't possible.

If you made this 34, or 33 it gives players more choice. It would be creating a new spot in the market. Rather than simply trying to compete with the Pologuard.

i would be interested in a 32t or 33t, but i've always been a fan of the stronger cranks available with 104 bcd, or BMX spline drive style.

I agree. But the problem with these cranks is the increased q factor. Going to give you more grief with pedal strike than a road crankset. Especially if you are already running wide bmx style pedals.

this sounds nice...no lie my mke is holding up just fine but the gearin at 35x22 is ok but one of our guys runs a custom chainring 33 to a 23freewheel which feels nice so i think a 32x22 would be pretty G! Let me know when these are available prolly be down for tryin this out here...

please make this available in less than 35t and for 3/32 chains. thank you.

carve. smash. eat shit.

I made that same request (almost) directly to Kawasaki-san at SLiC... the answer was "He decided to make only 35T 1/8 (pcd 110). he said if he will make 33T, he will change everything. (110's minimum size chainring is 34T.)"

Ganau.

Suggest: build around this ring. Something I think I heard the tamale lady saying once ...

"two teeth in front is kinda like one tooth in back, for POLO ratios anyway."

That shit 's legit as fuck!

I swear I've seen something like this before just cant put my finger on it

Last time I was in MKE you had about 12 of them lying around your house.

It's all the same thing, this one looks a bit lighter.
