Sorry about the vastly tedious post, but I can’t find info elsewhere.
Got a Boardman Hybrid which I’ve done a few thousand miles commuting on the last years. The 50T ring has got completely worn and now slips with anything above featherlight pressure, so I’m commuting 25 miles a day on the 34T little ring.
I need to get a replacement but just can’t bring myself to spend £50 on a couple of replacement rings that’ll get shagged on the 2 miles section of dirt track on my daily commute.
I’ve discovered part of the problem is that Truvativ stuff doesn’t seem to exist anymore. I think it’s been taken over by SRAM, but all the SRAM stuff I can find is well expensive.
Please could someone recommend where to get either two replacement rings or a replacement chainset that won’t break the bank?
I’d happily bin the double and go for a single up front if anyone could recommend one.
PS, I’m tempted to just bin the current bike and get an OnOne Dirty Disco. But I know it’ll just get gubbed within weeks, so I’m thinking maybe resurrect the Boardman gears and use it on days the track will be wet. Then use the OO on very dry periods (In Manchester, what am I thinking). Anyone recommend/discommend the Disco?
