Any recomendations for a good set of fairly cheap chainrings? Its for a specialized hardrock sport...which I believe is an 8 spd? The ring size are 42tx32tx22t. Also I think I will be getting a bashguard instead of getting the 42t.
You can surf the net and get good deals on chainrings from everyone who makes them,all you need to know id the tooth count you want and the BCD (bolt circle diameter).You can get a bashguard to replace your outer ring but they also make them to go along side your outer ring too,so you don't have to give up the 42t if you don't want to.welsh0913 said:First component on my bike that I am going to have to replace.

My LBS offers free tuneups but when I talked to the guy working there he said that they need to be replaced and that it would cost somewhere around $90. I figured I could find a better deal online, and they would install it for freeMohhican said:You could try taking your bike to your lbs shop and have them straighten it out. Same thing happened to me...the shop guy took a look at it, told me he'll see what he can do...10 minutes later its straight (not touching the front derailleur) and at NO charge....even though i had asked to change the largest chainring prior to him fixing it....
give it a try depending on how bent it is (mine was touching the derailleur a bit and clearly bent when you spin the crank fast..), even though i dont remember how it happened...its about 2 months now and still going...
If you aren't sure how many speeds your bike is, try counting the cogs on that little cluster of gears attached to the hub on the right side of the rear wheel.welsh0913 said:
