I'm setting up a second pit bike, I have a 105 8sp. crank but need to switch out the 53t for a 46 or 48t. Any ideas where to buy a cheap 130bcd ring? Does shimano make a 105 ring that size? My best find so far is a TA ring through QBP at about 35$. Surely there is something cheaper out there? Anybody ever try to use a 130bcd BMX ring?
