Chainring sizes?
Hi all!
I am looking to get a new chainring for my fixed/single speed conversion.
My cranks are of an late 80'ies Peugeot, but I cannot seem to find a chainring the right
size. Also I am uncertain of which size it is.
When I take a pencil, put it through the center of every bolt hole (of which there is 5),
I then draw a circle through the 5 pencildots, and measure the Ø (diameter) I get 122 mm,
not knowing how accurate this method is, it could be 120 mm. Which of these, if any, is a reel chainring
measure? I can only seem to find Ø130 mm, and Ø110 mm on my local webshops...
And if it is a real measure, is it so unusual that I will be searching high and low for a new ring?
I want to put on a new chain, and I do not want to ruin a new chain, with a worn chainring.
Thanks
Morten
