Sourcing Chainrings.

[Ajax Bay]

I am closing in on 19,000km on my road bike that I have owned since new, at the end of 2015. It has had a new casette and I have just replaced the chain, after noticing that it is slipping on the front (large) chainring when I put the power down! Usually this will be pulling away in the big ring.

I will make a guess that you do not spend much time in the small ring. Accordingly consider just changing the large ring. And you wont even need to take the crank off. NB Locktite on the bolt threads.
After replacing my cassette and chain together last month I expected a taut, willing drive train. Nope. Slipping. Narrowed it down to the middle ring (42t) of my triple (the chainset had done at least 25k) and I've replaced that. Sorted.

Spa . . . 'own-brand' touring chainsets are excellent value in the sort of chainring teeth count range that are often found on hybrids.
This for example

In any case, chainrings are pretty easy to replace. It's even easier if you take the cranks off the bike but not essential.

It can be rather like those infuriating wire puzzles that used to drop out of Christmas crackers.

Yes, I do favour the bigger ring, and this is the one that I have changed. All done now at 10.45pm - been trying to find the time to do this for the last few days.

Thanks again to everybody for helping me with this!

11 speed chains are ever so slightly narrower, so the distance between the chainrings can in theory be narrower. I'm not certain that it makes a difference though, I've certainly had no problems using 9 or 10 speed chains with an 11 speed chainset.

Don't recall hearing anyone having had problems either. Would be interested to hear if someone has though.

Ah, I see - thank you for that!
