@TheoG I'm thinking more shifter/derailleur .... the rest I agree

Agree, I will never even attempt to mix & match brands on shifter & derailleur.

Edit: At the rear that is ...

I'm looking for a chainring for the old school bmx style one piece cranks on my Schwin cruiser if anyone has.
Something smaller than the 44T I currently have which is a real bastard to pedal and no bike shops have anything other than a 44T. Alternatively a larger sprocket for the coaster hub, current is 18t but I'm assuming finding a larger one than that will be a true needle in a haystack.

Would you not need a larger sprocket on the back if you are looking for a smaller chainring?

BMX direct usually have BMX stuff hidden away that isn't advertised. Call them. You might get lucky

Yes! Thanks I have corrected my post.
I'll give them a try, seems there are also 2 thickness standards for chainrings for BMX one piece cranks, 1/8" or 3/32" .. the joys of the endlesssly changing bicycle standards :(

Not quite sure what you mean by coaster hub, but you can get a 20T freewheel sprocket from Rook:
