This has loose chainring bolts written all over it.
I can spot 3 missing + one the wrong way around.
You need to check them every couple of weeks when you use a road chainset with a single chainring...

I'll have you know i had tightened them all 2 weeks before, however one was missing and the one which is the wrong way around would hit the chainstay if it was the correct way around, no idea what happened to the other two though

either way, that chainring had been on multiple bikes and before that i'd done this to a different chainset

the one would hit, but not the other 3 [?!]?
also, what are the holes close to the teeth, suggests thats a road chainring? -
• #11
ok, just saw your second picture
note to myself - never allow arben to ride any of my bikes -
• #12
I would say thats all rider malfunction and not components...ta chainrings are some of the nicest made, and have been for over 50 years...
tho hey, like thom said I might be wrong...;D

if one chainring bolt happens to hit the chainstay fitted the correct way round that would indicate a warped/bent spider arm therefore not the chainrings fault.....

agreed.... TA rings are some of the best out there - i'll take it if george hasn't already
the fat thighed bike breaker needs to get some more heavy duty componentry
- it looks like the same chain set on the second pic as the chainring bolts are wrong way round on that one too, i've broken cheap cranks in the past too - very annoying when not close to home!

Definitely a road ring. What cranks are they and how heavy's Mr. Zilci (if that's not improper)?

cool, which chainset is the one you broke?

Thread updated & Price drop!
I had a look through the parts box today to find a 14T track cog for Doglog and realised that I had loads of spare chainrings/sprockets so here we go... Some bling, some budget. Pick up from Brixton or Chancery Lane.
If you are in for the Waterloo Bridge Strava record, a 55Tx12T combo should do the trick...
Sprockets are located here http://www.lfgss.com/thread84311.html
