Hi

My son has a Vitus Nucleus 275VRX which I got second hand from eBay.

It has an SRAM x sync 32t 11 speed 94 bcd front chainring with an 11 42t cassette.

He wants a higher gear ratio on it so I am thinking of getting a 36t chainring.

I’ve had a look round and it seems the current chainring is this one which is only available in 30/32t –

I can’t seem to find anything 36t in the same price range. Any help finding one would be really helpful!

Thanks

That one is steel which is why the price is low.

36t not is stock but might be soon from here:

I use a 34/36 oval for racing, they are very good.

Thanks for the replies.

Am I being stupid here but how can this one be for both 94 and 96 BCD (unless I’m mistaken I need 94) –

shows in the picture, holes are 1mm longer from centre of the ring to teeth than they are round, so they fit 96 and 94bcd

I bought a cheap chinesium one off Amazon for about a tenner well over a year ago – it’s still holding strong.

Is your son fit and/or no hills to climb?

Ah ok so it covers both.

I’ll have a look at Amazon.

Is he fit….not really but the bike is mostly just used to school and back (I know but atm he’s not interested in trails but I’m working on it).
