A guy at work has a Kona Hoss and has worn out the original drivetrain. I have fitted a new chain and cassette (xt) but not surprisingly there are wear problems on the chainrings under load. Original chainset is FSA Alphadrive, which looks like a normal 4 bolt setup. Anyone know if I can stick on a set of deore rings, as this seems the best cost/durability option ?
Thanks
anyone ?
I'm pretty sure the old style Deores would fit. Some of the new Shimano chainrings are different even though they are "4-bolt" style. Think I picked up some Hone ones on eBay cheap but found they didn't fit my Raceface chainset annoyingly.
To be honest looking at the prices of the Deore chainrings on CRC, if you're lashing out for three chainrings it might be better to actually just buy the Deore chainset!
Some rings may need a touch with a file at the stepped edge where they bolt to the crank, should be fine otherwise.
