Replacing Suntour MD 300 chainrings (Durbanville / Bellville LBS)

[straatvark]

Hi

 

My 'garden' employee use a MTB bike to commute from Fisantekraal to Durbanville where he find daily work. The bike work hard and was not maintained --> chain is old and teeth on drivetrain destroyed.

 

I'm helping him (teach) to fix it himself and will supply bridge funding.

 

It is Suntour MD 300 crank (square taper) that need at least a middle and big ring. Initially I thought I could strip the missus's XT rings and give her a new set, but they don't fit (~same bolt radius, but seems thicker / 'bedding' is different shape) and the Suntour middle and small ring is connected. (The small ring don't go directly on the 'spider')

 

So now I need to drive tomorrow and see if I can find replacement parts in Durbanville/Bellville. Any LBS with lower income type spares recommendations please?

 

(I think I need to spread my wings a bit for this - my nearest 'big' LBS don't even stock ball bearings any more and had to order it in for me a couple of weeks ago)

 

If someone have an old one that I can buy, please let me know...

You may have to replace the whole crank, not sure if you can get replacement rings for those.

 

Dragons Sports are the Suntour agents - if anyone would know it's them.

Thanks, got sorted by Bellville cycles. Bought a (cheap) complete crankset.
