...chainrings. :D

do they make them? like in 54-tooth? (i'm spec'ing out a build on a swift folder frame. rag on me for color-matching if you wish.) the only ones i've found are by FSA, and not only do they have huge tacky logos, they're more than twice as expensive as, say, a silver sugino 54t chainring. i also checked out the salsa chainrings, and for some reason only the small sizes come in black.

The FSA trac kchainrings aren't to pricey. Why so big?

From the custom chainrings thread?:


(http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?threadid=301687)http://www.fibre-lyte.co.uk/

carbon is quite black and they do custom sizes.

54t will only give you about 60 gear inches, I run 53x16(road) and 53x14(track) on 24" wheels to give 75 and 86 inches. You might want to go for a 60t chainring just to give you more gearing options, but it would be a bit costly.

stronglight does some big ones, but you'll probably have to go through xxcycle.com. Shipping is like $10, but the prices are good overall.

i actually decided to run 48x13, which should give me around 70 gear inches with 20"x50mm Big Apple tires. but thanks for the suggestions everyone!
