  • What chainrings are people running on Sram compact cranksets for SSCX?

  • i got the 39t ring that came with the chainset.

  • Innerrings are often pretty good singlespeed chainrings. They have tall teeth and most often no ramps or chaincatchers which is what you want.

  • Ah yeah, that's a good idea.

    I'm not averse to buying new though. I just don't have a clue what the options are for 110 bcd cranks.

  • Stronglight Durals are pretty good. No ramps or pins, cheap, hardwearing and readily available in a wide variety of teeth and bcds.

  • I have a BMX chain ring on mine, if you want 1/8th, they are 110bcd

  • Look at Thorn, SJS sell em. 110bcd, 5 bolt. Just bought one to fit on rival cranks.

  • Stronglight Durals are...hardwearing.

    Not my experience. Hard to beat for the money though.

    Surly stainless SS have to be the best? Then the Thorn if the weight is an issue?

  • Thanks guys. Since I just sold my omniums and replaced them with rival compacts, I was worrying I might have made a bad decision...

  • I'm the same as Negaatio - 39t inner ring. I have a 42t thorn ring cuz Howard said they were good, just haven't got round to fitting it!

  • No need for steel. 2-3 times as heavy and more expensive. Alu is cheap as.

  • Wolf tooth do these if you want something blingy

  • I'd like to go for something blingy. But really I'd just like to go for something 110bcd, 1/8 wide. It seems that I'm asking too much?

  • I have a BMX chain ring on mine, if you want 1/8th, they are 110bcd

    Which one - and from where?

  • Which one - and from where?

    Sugino bmx rings are 110bcd I think.

    Pretty sure it's a 44t Sugino I'm running on my Pomp with compact ht2s.

    Ebay or AlansBMX would be your best shout.

  • Any reason for 1/8" chain?

  • Got mine from e-bay, cheap and cheerful

  • Any reason for 1/8" chain?

    I own a bunch of 1/8 fixed sprockets and a couple of freewheels already... Otherwise no.

  • Ring doesn't need to be 1/8 th. Can run 3/32 ring with a 1/8th chain, did it for a couple of years on my Day One without a problem. Don't limit yerself to 1/8.

  • In hhsb-genre I understand the interest towards flashy and cool chainrings but fail to see the reason to get anything for sscx if you already have a small ring that works.

  • ^ and this. Who gives a fook how blingy yer chainring is when it's covered in mud.

  • ^^ unless it's helping keep a chain on. SS rings have taller teeth.

  • Wolf tooth do these if you want something blingy

    Really wouldn't refer to them as 'blingy' at all - very no-nonsense and functional, and not entirely unlike the Blackspire chainrings that became so popular in MTB ~10 years ago. Blackspire do a deep-tooth ring too btw, it's called the MonoVeloce.
    Really could have done with one when I ran a 1x9 setup on my old 'dale. That thing threw a chain every now and again.

  • I'm not thinking bling for bike porn points.

    The wolf tooth stuff is good I think, although probably overkill for SS setups. I can totally see the point of the taller teeth for 1*n geared bikes.

    Ideally I would like a 110bcd 48tooth ring in 1/8, to replicate the gearing I have currently (48*19) for riding on the road. I would then be able to choose from multiple options for a smaller 'ring for SSCX use.

    The question is, am I looking for something that simply doesn't exist in the UK? I see that Fyxo will machine a custom chainring to the specs I've outlined above, and at something like $100 AUS it doesn't seem at all unreasonable. But they're in Australia, and I'm not. http://shop.fyxo.co/custom-chainring-silver/
