Hi,
Ive got a Token 47t chainring (144 BCD) and am wondering what type/size crankset will i be needing?
I can only find a few and they all are pretty expensive, so i guess i might be searching for the wrong type?

Any help appreciated, Thanks

The good affordable options are Miche which use a square taper BB or the On-One "Omnium clone" external BB track crank, which uses a Shimano-type external BB rather than the awkward GXP kind.

Otherwise, secondhand.

You could maybe try Miche Primato? They seem to be going pretty cheap, just give a search for 144 BCD on this website, came up with a few when I gave it a search. http://www.velodromeshop.net/index.php?p=product&id=249

Emyr's beaten me to it there, but good suggestion from him, Miche have done well by me.

For your own sake, not the Velodrome Shop!

Are they a bit shite? Just giving an idea where to search for a suitable sized crankset, just whacked 144 BCD into google and it seemed to have a fair few results.

Get one with a chainring, ideally a tooth or two apart from the one you've bought. That way you can gear up when it gets nicer in spring.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
