I've run a 48 - 18 since I bought my first fixed last year, and want to get a 46 or even 44 tooth to compare. Would prefer to get a black chainring / crank combo anyway and have seen the sugino messenger or the Paul chainring / crank on various websites. If I am currently running an Ambrosio ring, is there any reason why I wouldn't be able to change over to one of the above myself. Are there any incompatibility issues I need to be aware of etc.??

Bolt Circle Diameter (BCD) - pretty important really.

i think sugino messenger comes in both 130 and 144 BCD.

kiwicycles do gerbhardt rings in various BCDs probably the easiest solution for £20

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.
