Shimano Tiagra 4500 9 speed triple chainset

[Winnershsaint]

I have five year old Cube Peloton originally obtained through Cyclescheme. As my commuting bike it has been serviced regularly up until last year, since when it has pretty much sat on the turbo in the garage. It was equipped with Shimano Tiagra 4500 groupset with a 9 speed triple chainset. Whilst I can relatively easily and cheaply sort out the chain and cassette I cannot seem to find anything about replacing the chainset like for like. A quick Google directs me to a few sites where the item is listed as no longer available does anyone have any idea how I might replace this, or am I likely to have to look for an alternative solution?

The likes of FSA, Race Face etc all make tidy and we'll priced cranksets that will do the job nicely. If its just the chainrings then there are hundreds of high quality options out there that are compatible with the standard spider.

Many thanks for that. Drago.

What Drago said - I used to like FSA's "Pro Road" chainrings, for what that's worth - at the moment, I have Stronglight, which I'm slightly less keen on, although they are cheap.

I've always hung on to the cranks and just changed the rings, so far.

Thanks. Basically the set up on the triple chainset is 30-39-50. The 30 tooth ring is seldom used and as such would not need replacing but that is not the case for the middle and outer rings I would grateful if someone could give me a steer as to the actual Stronglight rings I would need. Many thanks

The one thing to be aware of is that the Stronglight rings (at the Dural level at least) aren't ramped and pinned. That means a little more thought needs to be given to indexing and shifting (mine is particularly laggardly in moving to the 50t ring).

I don't know about the pricier Zircal rings.
