Ultra Chainring Swap?

[DDBB]

I'd love to find one in steel for that price!.. All the aftermarket chainrings I'm finding are aluminum

50mi on it now and there are no blemishes as well as it being quiet.. so I'd guess it's machined correctly.
Durability... We'll have to wait and see about that.
Why not do similarly and give one a try until you figure out exactly what it is you want to do and in turn give yourself more time to track down the golden chainring.

Unfortunately that chain ring doesn't come in 48 teeth.. Oh well

 

[il Munduato]

Sure it does!
Says 95 available.





But it'll cost you an extra $1.49!

 

[DDBB]

Ha! perfect and thanks!

BTW, I found one on Aliexpress for $2.74 so I bought it. I hope it's round and flat

No way.. Post the link.
At that price I may pick up a lifetime supply of spares

Can't find the order right now, must not be in the system yet. Dang, I forgot to check that this chainring is for 9 speed. Oh well, if it isn't, no great loss

Here's some for 99 cents. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256...6eWvYn1F&utparam-url=scene:search|query_from:

You're getting first time user pricing...not valid for an Aliexpress repeat whore as myself.
No worries on 9spd compatibility
