Hi,

I bought a Pass Quest chainring, which I've had a good experience with, and I'm about to install it on my Shimano 8200 crankset.

The installation instructions mention a small washer that needs to be installed. However, when I use the washer, the chainring doesn't sit flush and has approximately 0.1 mm of play or a raised area.

This makes me wonder whether the Shimano 8200 crankset differs from the 8100 in terms of chainring compatibility or mounting requirements.

Here is the chainring I purchased, along with the installation instructions: https://pq-bike.com/collections/shimano/products/pass-quest-shimano-slx-m7100-xt-m8100-xtr-m9100-6100-round-narrow-wide-chainring?shop_sign_in=true

I have also attached a photo showing the chainring installed with the washer.

Could you please confirm whether this chainring is compatible with the Shimano 8200 crankset and whether the washer is required for this model? AFAIK the new Shimano crankset is 55mm chainline as opposed to 8100 which was 52mm and 55mm depending on the spacers.



Thanks!

Heya,

I'm looking for Ti handlebar with 9-11 backsweep, 760mm length and 25-35mm raise.
I found some sellers on AliExpress that sells the exact required ones, but without any recommendations, hence, I'm not going to try them out.

Anyone here can recommend me a seller that does it? maybe something outside of AliExpress with global shipping?

Cheers,

Heya,

I own a GX cassette and I'm into replacing it with a lighter option. Garbaruk makes sick cassettes, but it's pricey and I'm not willing to pay it.
Any AliExpress model which you recommend? A friend of mine vouch for the SunShine light weight option, but I haven't read anything about it, so I'm here to ask.

Cheers,

Heya,

I wonder if there are any mtb cranks 170mm with raw alloy color on aliexpress.
I found few but I can vouch for their design, the 5Dev clone is pretty bad afaik from a friend.

Thanks,
