can i remove bash ring and only use 2 chainrings?

Hi All,
I have removed my heavy bash ring from my crankset, however, now my chain-ring bolts are too long and dont secure my big ring (which is actually a middle ring)

can i get shorter chain ring bolts or should i use a washer/spacer?

thanks

Magura Marta levers

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

I'm trying to help out one of my riding mates who is stationed in Libya (of all places). He needs replacement lever(s) for his Magura Marta disk brakes and for multiple reasons he cannot buy them in / from Libya. So I'm trying to source them and his wife who'll go over in a few weeks will (hopefully) take them with her.

Spending a bit of time on google has not delivered the goods, I can only find complete brakes not the levers on their own. At CRC they have magura levers but none described as for the Marta kit.

CRC order soon?

Hey - anyone doing a CRC order any time soon?

There's just a small hard-to-find item I need (not available in your LBS) that would like to pick up. Please mail/PM.

Thanks Smiling

P.S. Orrrr... if you're in the same boat PM anyhow - perhaps we'll have enough to get something going.

Air compressors

Me again
With my soon to be conversion to regular tyres on tubeless rims (not UST)
I realise I now need an air compressor (does it ever stop) - rhetorical question

So, what is a reasonable compressor for inflating standard tyres without tubes
how much should I expect to pay and what should I look for (max psi etc)
And where would I go to find a well priced one

BTW, I'm a mechanical muppet
So what Rob is talking about in another post may as well be in Swahili

ayup vs magicshine?

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

i already have custom lights which i'm very happy with and have a custom helmet mount and just like to keep them on my helmet. I use my first generation ayup lights for road riding but find they're not quite bright enough when going at speed along dark roads. I've been looking at getting some magicshine's for my bars but seeing as i've got 5 ayup batteries and bar mounts on all my bikes plus head straps for camping i was toying with the idea of just upgrading the ayup itself to the current model. Anyone got any info on how much brighter the new models are compared to the old ones?

Crossmark and Larson on Mavic 819??

I want to mount a folding bead Crossmark 2.1 and a folding bead Larson 2.0 on my Mavic 819s WITHOUT tubes.

Has anyone tried this combo? Does it work with the non-UST tyres?

Obviously, i'll use a bit of stans.

thanks

Mech hangers

Anyone know of an aus company/website that has a wide range of mech hangers? need to get a titus hanger
(crc and a few other uk based sites have them but if I'll end up getting new wheels or something to justify the free postage and then lying to the missus - its a slippery path!)
cheers
