it looks really thin and cheap from the photo. Is it a single speed specific ring? for a replacement I would check the thorn ones on sjs website. They are superb build, i have several and even at 3/32 they are chunky.
not sure the pcd on that but this might be it

 

[Tharg2007]

also how much was the chainring? if it was cheap then it would definitely be crap quality, if it was expensive then it might still have been crap quality but just sold to you at a higher price.

Yup, its a single speed specific ring.
Left it at the LBS for the moment, going in tomorrow to get my pump for when im on the Giant so ill ask about the new ring then.

£25, so not a huge amount. Was hard to find one(dont buy off the internet) that wasnt a huge amount and wasnt too cheap.
Wanted to spend more, but was hard to find one that costed more.

To me it looks like a 135 BCD but it may say on the inside?

If it is it is way to big most single speeds are 110 BCD

How do you know?

 

[Joe24]

How do you know?

Its got one ring on it, although by that it sounds as if im wrong

 

[Tharg2007]

£25 should get you a good quality chainring. Was it £25 for chainring and cranks too?
single speed specific should have longer pointier teeth and and none of those little ramp pins or indentations that regular chainrings have to help the chain shift.

IF/when parkers send me the new one i've ordered you can have my old one...

 

[mickle]

WARRANTY!!! Not fit for purpose. Don't take any sh!t.

 

[mickle]

Sorry was that a bit shouty?

What was that Mickle?
My dad did say the same thing though, that it shouldnt just bend over like that.
It doesnt have any of the indentations thats on the double chain ring on the Giant. It was the cranks and chainring that was £25. It had a chain guard which was taken off

Ooooo, which one do you have at the moment Bonj?

Ooooo, which one do you have at the moment Bonj?

an old one, dunno what brand - probably nothing special.
although probably alright apart from the fact that the right pedal is currently stuck on it... but i am reliably informed that with a vice and a piece of pipe it could be removed...
the bottom bracket has slight play in it, hardly any, but it's a square taper BB so you should be able to keep your current one.

anyhow it's a 46t single ring
