Hi.

Couple of quick questions.

Im looking for a smaller chainring for my Standard Crankset. Its a 130BCD Sram Red 53T. I just wanted to try out a smaller ring. Like a 50t-52t. Just for giggles. And I started researching, seems Sram Doesnt make 130BCD's in anything under 53 and Shimano makes 52's in 130. But then I started looking at brands like KCNC and TA, they seem to make 52's and smaller as well....

Do you guys/gals have any other brand suggestions or places I could look at for smaller rings? BTW, they cost an arm and a leg too....

OH. Also, I was on Wiggle looking at rings, and They call it PCD instead of BCD. Anyone know why that is?

THANKS

Praxis Works has piqued my interest. I dont see 52t on their webpage now, but I swear I've seen them around.

if I recall correctly, FSA made a 50t 130bcd ring. I think I have one around...

Oh, Thats a decent price. How did you like yours? was it a decent fit and shift? Interested in selling yours if youre not using it?

I think I had it on a Bike Friday 6 years ago. I can't remember how it shifted, so it must have been fine. I'm going to keep it, sorry,

No prob. Just ordered one on Amazon. Inexpensive option, perfect for testing. I appreciate the heads up. :hello:

TA is a great source for well made and not expensive chainrings..
