so at this Point You have 2 choices A) Buy 2 new chainrings for the 2 larger sizes , & a new chain
3rd inner looks like you didn't do a lot of Pass Hunting so is still OK.
Or B) a whole New Crankset and BB as the Shimano company went on to start another 'standard' that others had to emulate to get some Market Share..
Square Taper stuff , 110-74 seems to stay pretty Future Proof.
Yay for square taper! But I admit, my second most favourite pedal interface is octalink.
To the OP: I am not quite sure why is octalink even relevant to your question. Just get a suitable BCD 104 chainring, and you're golden. Also, don't be beholden to the chainring being made of aluminium, unless the couple of grams you save are so important to you.
