Firstly, aware my OH frequents ST, and as this is about his Xmas gift… I’d kindly ask him to stop reading if he’s seen this… but I wasn’t sure where else to pester.
Partner has given me, the non-bike-maintenance savvy one of us, the task of sourcing a chain ring for his Trek Procaliber 9.7 which is the highest tooth it can go.
That part I’ve managed to source the info of… 36T. Quick research tells me its got a SRAM x1 group set on it (which I do recall as he has a pref for shimano).
This leads me to my query, a 36t sram is an obvious replacement, but if it wears out like cheese (not to suggest it would necessarily), I’d rather get something a bit more gucci and it last 2x as long…
Bottom bracket is push fit, if that makes a difference? (I wasn’t lying when I said I didn’t have a clue. I like to think I’m supporting my local bike shops with my lack of knowledge and business that is subsequently sent their way!)
tia.
