Title: New barcodes
Post by: Lo Pan on March 29, 2015, 01:50:18 PM

I preordered a new barcode and I was wondering if anyone on here that owns one knows if it will comfortably fit a 36t sprocket. If anyone could check I'd be eternally grateful.

I would be amazed if it wouldnt.

Just mail them/him and ask.

Get amazed!!! I've got a 36t on my S&M code and it isn't very happy. Maybe the next batch will be different, not sure.

How unhappy? Can you post a pic of your chain line and sprocket clearance?

I tried putting an old 36t Metal sprocket on my S&M Code with no luck... Sprocket hit the frame, and wasent able to space it enough to where i was happy with the chain line..

I don't own a 36T to check, but I also would be surprised.

30T seems to be the sweet spot.  It just clears with a decent chainline.
