Is it possible to find a 52, 53, or 56t chainring with four bolt holes, or will I need to change the crakset to get the chainring I need?
It's probably cheaper just to change the whole crankset. Have you talked to Bike Friday? I've bought oddball parts from them before, stuff not in their catalog. Custom chainrings are available, but pricey: http://dgcustommachining.blogspot.co...hainrings.html
