Campagnolo Compact Rings Availability?

QBP part number is #CR9886, any bike shop should be able to order that for
you.

Anyone know why Campy's 110 BCD is different than everyone else's?

Actually, if the OP has a Campy Centaur aluminum compact double crank with
110bcd, ANY 110bcd chainring will fit. Unless there is some reason he has to
have Campagnolo, he could use a 110bcd chainring from any company including
TA, Shimano, Stronglight, FSA Willow, Engagement, Salsa, or any other 110bcd
ring I may not have mentioned.

IF the OP has a Campy CARBON crank, then you are right, it has 4 bolts at
110bcd and the fifth at 112bcd. I think Campy was trying to be cute with
that one, but with the introduction of the Centaur aluminum compact double
crank and the correct/standard 110bcd bolt pattern, it appears Campy has
learned its lesson. Note - if you do a search, you should be able to find
Andy Muzi's "fix" to get a standard 110bcd chainring to fit on the Campy
carbon crank....

I just bought an aluminum Centaur compact crankset from probikekit.com.
With a bb and shipping, it worked out to be about $140 US. Great deal,
except they sent me a crank with 50-36 rings instead of 50-34. (In their
defense, maybe that's what I ordered, my receipt indicates this, but I
thought otherwise. Maybe I've got CRAFT; that's Can't Remember A Freaking
Thing.) I'm thinking that it will be prohibitively expensive to send them
back, and that maybe for almost the same cost to ship them back to the UK, I
could get a 34 tooth inner ring. The problem is, I can't find any. Does
anyone know if they are available yet? How much?

Thank you,

34t Campag rings are available from many places, just not MO. TA makes
them, nice ring for less $. TA are about $40, Campagnolo about $75.

It's not for the 110mm BCD aluminum compacts, like Centaur, Veloce and
Mirage.
Campag Carbon compacts use the 110/112 BCD rings, Record, Chorus and
Centaur-why, I donno.

ALUMINUM Campagnolo compact cranksets take standard off the shelf
normal 110mm bcd rings available from almost any bike shop or mail
order place on earth. Just ask for a 34 tooth ring in 110mm bcd and
any competent bike shop will know what you want. In other words very
few bike shops will have a clue as to what you are talking about.

For the odd 110/112mm bcd used on the CARBON Campagnolo compact
cranksets, you can get official direct from the factory in Vicenza
Campagnolo brand chainrings from Excel Sports. Not cheap, actually
extremely expensive.

You're in luck. $14.20 at www.loosescrews.com (sugino-brand). very
good deal.
