I have a outer chainring from FSA 135mm and I am looking for a inner 39t 135mm chainring to complete the set for further use. I contacted FSA through their website and did an extensive search online. Still can't find a FSA 39t chainring 135mm.

I have a 9 speed record setup,????????????????????????????????????

??????

Could I buy a 10 speed inner 39t from FSA for my campy 9 speed system?

Thanks this site is great

any web sites suggested are greatly appreciated

Yes. Though some folks are real particular abut matching the number of speeds to the chainring. If you find the spacing is too narrow between chainrings, you might be able to use a super-thin washer between the 39T and each arm on the crank.

I believe that the smallest chain ring possible for the 135mm BCD is 42 teeth. Anything smaller would create interference between the chain and the chainring bolts.

No, 144mm BCD cranks can accommodate rings down to 41T. A 135mm BCD crank ought to be able to use down to 39T: http://sheldonbrown.com/gloss_bo-z.html
