Rings for Shimano 105 triple?

[Garry Kennedy]

Hi,

I have a shimano 105 triple with 30/39/50 rings and a 14-25 block - i want
to keep that block for the close ratios, but i want bigger gears on the
middle and outside ring - does anyone know if shimano 42/52 (or 53) rings
are available for the 105 triple? .... My local bike shops (in Dublin) are
drawing blanks ...

Many thanks

I use a 30/42/53. If your LBS can't manage it try these.

"Double" 130mm rings will fit your triple. Compatible Stronglight and TA
rings are available cheaply from www.settlecycles.co.uk/shop . Your LBS
should know about these as well. TA's are top quality.

If you do want a middle-specific ring for best shifting, you can get TA
middle rings from www.dotbike.com
