[#3158254]

So who makes replacement rings for SRAM's 120/80 bcd? Need some for a recently acquired X9 crank.

SRAM or Specialities TA. Might have to get the latter from Germany (r2-bike look like they have them) though

Looked at the SRAM ones and they are £100 for the pair. Chainrings appear to have gotten expensive.

Edit - do Spec TA do the new sizes? None on their website.

Does Middleburn not make anything suitable?

Chainrings have suddenly got ridiculously expensive, it's often best to buy a whole new chainset and get a BB thrown in free.

I have some 28/42 XX rings for sale, only used 4 times before I went to 26/39. Email in profile if you're interested, they're just sat collecting dust atm.

This is one of the reasons I went 1x10 with a custom ring.

I may well go that route anyway. For the £100 SRAM also provide a new spider with a standard bolt circle and the smaller rings. Thanks for the offer though.

I've never found the TA website particularly helpful though.

I did have a look at the r2 site but the TA rings would work out the same price to me as the SRAM stuff with a new 104mm spider.

R2-Bike seem a bit expensive but do have a lot of esoteric gear, eg. DT Lefty hubs (which is how I stumbled across them). Might be worth giving a UK stockist a ring - it's evident that TA make them, so I'd have thought eg. Spa Cycles could get.

I think the issue is that none of the aftermarket ring manufacturers are going to really get going on making stuff until there's a dominant standard for 2x10 rings - at the moment there are at least three (SRAM/FSA 386/Shimano 88mm).
