buying specialized chainrings

lubaloo said:

can anyone recommend a good online retailler to buy 5 arm, not compact,
specialized chainrings?

Does it have to be a specialized branded one, or any one which will
fit?

I usually use TA replacement rings and get 'em from Settle Cycles:

A lot would depend upon what cranks / bb are fitted.

A friend has a Specialized full suss mtb with their own branded chainset,
IIRC there is something odd about it meaning he had to buy S'd replacement
rings.
However, if I'm wrong try these:

I agree with Dave Larrington TA Specialites would be a very good choice for
replacement chainrings and they are available in black.

Spa Cycles carry a good range and are usually the cheapest. Last time I
looked their website was fairly crappy but they are always very helpful on
the phone.

So if there is a major outbreak of bird flu they might be a bit hard to
find.

I'll get my coat.

LOL :-)

Imagine the scene as dozens of serious chickens head out from the depot each
morning with a bag of chainrings, priceless!
