Wanted: 110 BCD Chainring

I currently have a £6-new Sugino BMX 44T chainring but I'm finding the number of teeth is limiting my gear choices. So I'm looking for a second-hand chainring which I will be able to fit onto my wonderful beaten and bruised cranks - or if you know somewhere which sells decent new ones then please let me know! Somewhere in the region of ～50T would be great!

Preferably pick up somewhere in London

Thanks!

I have a 49T Silver one, sounds perfect for what you need. £10. Collection from Putney.

Sweet, any pictures? I know it's only a chainring, but I like pretty pictures

Sounds like it might do the trick - I'll let you know

No pictures I'm afraid, I'm at home with the family at the moment so couldn't even take any.

It's a Specialites TA I think, and I only used it for about 4 months. Good condition!

Something along the lines of this then?

Haven't got a clue what those bumps are - it says it's a track chainring on the site I got the picture from, so can't be anything to do with gear shifting

I now begin the arduous task of honing in on what sort gear ratios I'll be needing - tedious! But thanks for the offer, I will let you know if I'll take it off of your hands soon

Yeah it looks just like that but as far as I can remember it doesn't have any bumps or whatever... but I may be wrong. The one on the website is certainly not a track ring, and neither is mine.

Cheers look forward to hearing from you. PM me when you've decided.

Is your's not 1/8" then? (I'm taking 1/8" to mean it's a track one)

Sweet

Nope, it's 3/32. As far as I know you can't get a 110bcd track chainring and it will be especially hard to find one with around 50t in 1/8.

I managed to get my current chainring in 1/8" but they had a small selection of 40 - 44. I knew this would be a problem, but I just don't want to have to get new cranks and then probably also a new BB on top of that too. I guess I will have to someday though!

I could still run a 1/8" chain on a 3/32" chainring but I'd rather it'd be snug... ah

Why not get a smaller sprocket?

For a tenner you can't go wrong really.

No Ed! I must sell my chainring!!

48t on eBay - I bought one of these a few days ago but hasn't arrived yet - looks pretty good though.

49t is better ;-)

Why not get a smaller sprocket?

Explained in the first post, I want a broader range of possible gear ratios. With a smaller amount of teeth on the chainring you get a smaller amount of possible gears, and also larger gaps in GIs of these gears. I'm on 44-15 at the moment and want to make it a little easier, but 44-16 is too low I think, so need a larger chainring to sort this out, and also for possible future gear changes.

I've actually got a gold (only colour they had in the largest size) one of those from Alans BMX, it only cost £6 new! But they had a rubbish range of sizes, the highest was 44 tooth. Didn't realise the Sugino BMX chainrings went all the way up to 48, that's huge for a BMX! I guess they are for the 'old school' type ones though, but still! They're decent chainrings nonetheless - bargain!

50 is better ;p

Nah, still looking into ratios and stuff, boring, and testing out other people's ratios! WOO!
