chainring

I'd like to pop a proper single ring on my "new" MTB since I'm enjoying the pseudo 1x8 set-up I'm currently running with a locked out FD. Would have to be a 30t or 32t ring since 8 speed cassettes are limited in max sprocket size to 34t and I'd like to be able to go up hills! Wouldn't mind...

worn the tiagra 9 speed big ring out (after only 10 years ;)) on the commute. anyone got a spare going for less than the lots of notes that wiggle et al want for a new one?

If I currently run a 30 chainring with a 29 cassette ring whate the equivalent casstte size needed if my smallest chainring becomes a 34 ,I just need an equivalent I have looked at various websites which just blind me with science.

Quick question: Should there be four or five chainring bolts on the post 2013 spider? I've still got a bit of creaking on my bike, and one of the things I checked was to make sure the bolts on the chainring were all done up. In doing so, I notice that there's not one behind the crank arm...

I currently ride a btwin triban 500 which now does about 40 miles per day for my commute. It has a triple chainring, 50/39/30 and the middle and large chainrings now need replaced as they have turned into shark teeth. I got the triple as it was my first road bike and thought it would be good...

Fed up with getting oil marks on my socks/trainers/trousers. Where can I get a guard for my chainring, either original Shimano or aftermarket? It's 48t elliptical Biopace. Have searched and found a couple on old Ebay listings, but nowhere else. http://www.ebay.de/itm/121845195971

Was wandering around Halfords earlier and thought I would have a look at the bikes on sale. Noticed a MTB with 11 rear sprockets and single chainring. So, won't a setup like this cross? Or, does it have a special chain, etc? Have I missed something?

Hi I am gonna change the big chain ring on a bike after having noticed several teeth missing. Having read up on it it seems pretty straight forward ( he hopes ) however all the articles make mention of a special tool, in addition to the allen key, needed to stop the back of the bolts slipping...

For reasons posted elsewhere in thinking of swaying more to a CX bike than road. Question is, for practicality is a double chain ring better and allow more versatility or is a single chainring more than sufficient. Usage will be road to trails and moderate trails with some CX events winter &...

I'm thinking about changing my chainring to a smaller 34T on my 1985 Raleigh Record Sprint, so I can get up the steeper inclines, it has the Sugino GT chainset. I think it's a 110mm BCD, but I'm not sure. Any suggestions? Thanks. This type:

Shimano 5700 compact 50/34. What size/length chainring bolts do I need? Some sellers don't list the length/size in mm, which is what I need to make 100% sure they will be direct replacements for the ones I have now. When did things get so complicated? TIA

Hi Over the weekend I fitted new wheels (together with a new chain and cassette), and replaced the BB on my Croix de Fer 20 2015. All components were a direct replacement. I'm running 10 speed, 34/46 chainrings. Now, when in the inner ring, the chain rubs on the outer chainring when using...

5 bolt, 44 -48 teeth...... black preferred

Need to change a few parts, cassette, chain, fD and large chainring. Looking at the price of a large chainring, at around £20, seems to make sense to change the whole set at £51, just wondering if going to a 48/36/26 from a 44/32/22 would work without to many issues as I find myself on the...

Hi, in a few weeks I'll be replacing my chain and cassette and I'm just wondering whether I should replace the outer chainring at the same time. The question is, is it worn to the extent that if I continue with it, I'll be losing efficiency in the drivetrain? I think I need to have a good look...

Can anyone tell me the diameter of a 22t chainring? Ta.

HELP! :banghead: On the way into work yesterday my chain started dropping repeatedly. On the way home my chain snapped, as I pulled over at the kerb it rolled off the cassette and fell down a storm drain (there's a tale for the kids!) Luckily I was near a Halfords and was able to coast most of...

If I put an Alivio 42T 8s/7s chainring into a deore 9 speed transmission tomorrow (9-speed cassette, 9-speed chain, 9-speed middle and small ring) am I going to have problems? If so why?

I was pootling along to work and for some unknown reason started thinking about cross-chaining. I found the website byclechainrings.com which had this definition - "Cross Chaining - We defined Cross Chaining (above) as the condition where the chain is running across the drivetrain centerline...
