Hello all,

Been a lurker for a while now. This is a great resource and thanks to all you lot for making it so!

Question:

I have a pair of Miche cranks on my Condor Pista (the black ones with the Condor 60yrs logo. 'Primato' rings a bell) and would like to buy a new chainring.

I think the BCD is 135mm. I haven't got a decent ruler here, so confirmation would be appreciated.

Ideally, I'd like to purchase a 48, 49 or 50T ring in black (preferably 3/32).....will these be suitable?:

If not any links to an online retailer of suitable chainrings would be ace!

Cheers!

they are 135BCD by the looks of things. Those rings are fine.

Have you looked on hubjub for stainless steel rings ? they last longer, but are heavier. Silver.

I did have a look on hubjub, but they didn't seem to have anything suitable. I also saw the Gebhardt ones on Kiwi Cycles, but I think i'll go with the TA one in 3/32 as I have quite a few new 3/32 chains kicking about.

Cheers!

That chainring looks like a re-badged Miche Advanced to me - the newer iteration of Primato and 144bcd...

Try PM-ing mikec, he won a couple of the Condor rings at the track day... Not sure he had much use for them...

I think Sammy may be on to something......

Looks like Condor rebadged these:

Anyone know where to get 144BCD chainrings in black?

Sammy's right, that's exactly what they are... If they are 144 (not sure they are), Sugino 75s will work too... Pricey tho'... Not sure what the BCD on Zen rings are, they may fit and they're cheaper...

The condor miche are 144, I have some and you can get the miche advance chain rings here for cheap

.. Not sure what the BCD on Zen rings are, they may fit and they're cheaper...

I guess you mean messenger rings, which are 130 bcd, the zen is the crazy pricey one, more than the 75.

yeah, zen = 144, messenger = 135, if I recall from my research that ended quickly when I realised I was broke. Me being broke seems to be a recurring theme

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

> Quote text by starting lines with >

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

```

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

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
