I see where you guys are going, so I must have phrased my question incorrectly. Mine is 8 sp, though your posts with 9 sp links get the point across, so thank you. (2010 Talus, 8 speed MC361 on the bike specs, but I could only find Shimano Tech docs for FC-M361) I just put on cheap Shimano twist shifters this winter...
BTW: Anyone have the tech docs for MC361 mountain crankset? Or am I just confused my Shimano numbering and titles?
1st question - middle chainring- : Can I pick up any mountain 32t alu chainring BCD 104 / 64 mm, or need to stick with Shimano? Any other considerations, and do you already have a good source for these? I think the answer is stay with Shimano?
2nd question - crankset- : anyone have the tech docs for MC361 mountain crankset? Is it that much better to replace the whole crankset than just a chainring?
