V1
Designed for the Sugino XD 110bcd cranks
One of
the reasons
why we chose those cranks is availability; unlike other smaller closet
manufacturers, these cranks will always be available.
The 35 tooth
ring Making some of the smallest ring sizes
possible adds
to the strength of the system.
The gear
ratios a 35t chainring and the following
cogs/freewheels
gets you this assortment of gear inches
- 12t 78.8
- 13t 72.7
- 14t 67.5
- 15t 63.0
- 16t 59.1
- 17t 55.6
- 18t 52.5
- 19t 49.7
- 20t 47.3
- 21t 45.0
- 22t 43.0
We wanted to fit ratios that allowed a polo player to ride to a match
with a small cog on one side of the wheel, and flip it to the polo gear
on the other side of the wheel after they arrive at the match.
CNCd
out of 7075 T6 Aluminum one of the most
durable alloys
available and the choice of material for many professional track racing
chainrings. So you should get miles and miles and miles of use.
Chain Width
We used the Izumi 1/8" Super V chain as the baseline width
for this guard. So do you have to use the Super V? Absolutely Not, feel
free to use any 9.5mm width (pin width) 1/8" chain.
Price
point Sugino XDs in 165 or 170mm /
Silver or Black arms and
the Polo Guard as a crankset for $130.
NOTE
It is no secret that chains and chainrings wear with each
other. Chain stretch is the number one reason chainrings go bad. So if
you want this all-in-one to last you as long as possible, change your
chain every year (if not twice a year) before the chain stretch ruins
the teeth. If you want to make things really easy on yourself buy a
Park CC-3C Chain Wear Indicator
and check your chain frequently.
