the zen messenger ring is plenty stiff, but it is a little noisy. it does come in more than 46 and 48 (i have 44) and may also be available in odd teeth. or you could try the CNC'd ring from FSA if you don't mind the huge logo.
err... crap. i was just about to order the RD with the 103 sugino BB today. why exactly doesn't it work? and are you sure??? any help is greatly appreciated - i need to figure this out!
i was really going for a silver/white color scheme for my grey crosscheck, but i can only get the messenger in black. grrr. whatever shall i do? i don't think i want to go to the dark side.
