Nic,

I get my TA Chainrings from Greenspeed Vic, the outers and middles 130/110 all come with pins and ramps. The inners, 110 or 74 do not!

hmm...Okay. weird. That was the specific thing against them in the review(s?) I read.


Not much point in the inner rings I guess <G>

Anyway. Thanks for that.

Sorry. I guess I should ask. Is this road or offroad, and how do you find them to ride with?

Geees Nic,

I thought it only mattered (road or offroad) for the tyres.

Not quite sure what you mean about the cranks..

I suppose I should be thinking cassettes rather than CRs, but offroad I find myself having to change gears a lot more under "surprising" conditions. I ride very winding singletracks. So it's downhill, over two rocks (that's things not the place George!<G>) then have to brake to turn right angles round a tree and push back uphill. If I am to get any peadlled speed down the first hill, then I need to change either halfway around the corner, (or I forget and need to change gping up :-< )

But yes, it's rear changes, not front, that are like this.

http://www.coveproductions.com/store/ sells Ti Cycledynamics chainrings

Inner = USD24
Middle = USD40

Not scary priced, considering claimed life

I would settle for steel, but they are rare.

I just have a problem


sorry

with using Aluminium for a wear part, in the grit.

Nick,
