TA Specialities

I'm looking for the following chain ring. A Ta Specalities Gramme Chinook 4 arm 28 tooth chain ring with a BCD of 64mm. As seen here.

I know you can get em in black but are there any people who actually sell these rings in the Southern Hemisphere.

 

Anyone know where I can get em other than startbike?

 

Thanks.

Presumably you've ordered from them before?

I've ordered from them,they were ok ,postage was a bit expensive.You busy making a 2 by 9?Unfortunately my chinooks are not for sale

Yeah running a XTR 960, need I explain the dodgy BCD? In any case I've been running a duo setup on the 960's for about 18 months now but I really feel I need a easier ratio, I fine on all but the super steep stuff. At which point the 32 up front makes me bleed slightly.

 

The two inner ring interfaces have a 64/102 BCD. My plan is to stick some Chinooks, 28/42 or 44, onto the two inner mounts and then shave the extra lugs for the outer most ring off.

 

As seen here. I am getting a speen adaptor so soon I'll be able to run a Force derailleur up front as well.

Running  28/42 on the new xtr cranks for over a year and work great.Just be careful if you put a 44 on the inner chainring as is will touch some frames on the chainstay.Where you find a speen adaptor?Been using a modified record fd on my setup to make it top pull.

Aha, Yeah. I took the shortcut and ordered from speen direct. Speen.de

[Racer X]

Out of interest how did you mod you record unit to make it top pull?

[gazza]
