Re: Re:

I want to replace the chainrings on my touring bike (Sugino cranks) what would you recommend as a replacement?

What's the bolt pattern and is it triple or double?
TA chainrings are what I usually go for, seem to be a good balance of price, quality and performance.

I've got a NOS triple set that came off an XC Pro chainset that I can dig out if they're of interest.

Spa cycles do some nice affordable chainrings.

Re: Re:

Here you go, they're 5 bolt 110BCD (check out Sheldon Brown link below if you're not sure what you need) and 24/36/46. I could do them £25 posted.

Signed up for the East Lothian Off Road Audax again, hope its not as biblically wet as last year.

Good man!
I have signed up for it once again and hopefully Brian and Rob might join us again.

I know Brian has some overseas family visiting around then so may not be able to do it but when I spoke to him the other week about it he was going to enter and then try his best to get there. The last couple have been fun but as you say that last one was wet. The wettest I had been for a long while, though this year hopefully we will be fine.

Look forward to catching up mate.

I've entered, but I don't know if I'll make it. (Family coming from the USA the day before)

I say "think", I'll see about getting the spoke tension checked first on the wheels I'm already using.
