  1. I've done it! I've managed to knacker a TA ring! The inner on the
    'bent (61/52/42T) is hooked. This may, of course, be related to my
    habit of riding it up hills, an activity for which no Dutch bike is
    truly designed.

    I'd buy a steel one but since I can't find a decent-looking 9-speed
    compatible 42T steel ring on 130 BCD I'll stick with TA.

    An expensive week, really; the chain is also at the wear limit. 3 x
    SRAM PC59 at £17 each and a new cassette.

    <BBC7>Wigglywigglywiggly</BBC7> (apart from the TA ring which will
    come from St John Street).

    Oh, wait! SJS are £12 per each for the HG59 instead of Wiggle's £17 -
    now that's unexpected. Keen price. They have some end-of-line
    Shimano 9-speed chain for £10, if anyone's interested, but I prefer
    the Powerlink.

    PC59: £8.90 from Parker International + 50p for Powerlink + £2.50 postage.
    Powerlinks work ok with $himano chains, BTW.

    Chain Reaction are worth checking out for cassettes.

    Settle Cycles tend to be cheaper than SJS et al for TA rings, with free
    post.

    Thanks very much for the tip Pete.

    Settle also 144 BCD Campag clone rings for 12.99 something I've been
    looking for for ages. There's currently an Alan branded 144 Super Record
    ring on Ebay thats already up to £24.

    Thanks again.

    Tiaga comes with steel 42T middle ring - but you may not want the shifting
    ramps using it as an inner.
