[Closed] Cheaper to buy new (road) crankset rather than replace rings...

It's for the commuter (which is currently used by my pa!) so not worried about uber fancy ones!
It's got Truvativ elita cranks on there at the mo (36, 50), and the rings need replacing pronto!
It's bonkers that a new crank/rings/bb can be had for £50, wheras rings cost more than that!
I'm looking at [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=21767 ]this - it's a 10 speed[/url] which should do me, even though I'm runnung 9 speed), no?
Or - if anyone can recommend long lasting rings that can be had for under £40 for 36/50 or thereabouts, I'd give you a virtual cuddle!

Cheers!
