it's a short wheel base a hepcat. I got the new crankset today. thats 
pretty quick mail from Texas (got sent out Friday) so far the deore dr 
is working ok. it seemed hard to get it int o the 53 ring.  I was 
thinking maybe raising it a bit since there is maybe a bit less then 
1/2" between the chain and the bottom of the dr.
