    Hey folks,

    I’m shortly taking delivery of a new bike (to me anyway) fitted with SRAM rival compact chainset (50/34). I want to change it to something like 52/39 which is fitted to my current bike with a compact spider. The BB is new so doesn’t need changing. My question is can I do this by buying New chainrings, or will I need a new chainset. I’m trying to avoid spending excess money as I’m after New wheels soon anyway.

    Had good experiences with TA, Stronglight and Middleburn rings. Steer clear of replacement SRAM rings, cheap but they wear out quickly IME.

    And they are supremely shiney!

    In all seriousness, TA rings were what my LBS had when I needed it at short notice – very happy with them.
