  1. Hi,

    I've recently been renovating a early '90's Saracen MTB and I've got
    pretty much everything sorted out apart from the chainset and this
    really could do with replacing but I've no idea what is available and
    compatible with this set-up

    The current chainset is Exage 400LX (FC-M400) with biopace SG 48-38-28
    chainrings

    The other componets are in remarkably good condition considering the
    age (low mileage, some already replaced) and I don't really want (or
    could afford) to go down the route of an entirly new groupset

    Front derailleur Exage 400LX (FD-M400)
    Chain CN-HG50
    Cassette Exage 400LX (CS-HG50)
    Bottom Bracket UN54 tapered

    Can someone please suggest a chainset (or replacement rings) that are
    commonly available and will work with this. Alivio something?

    Many thanks,

  2. Should be able to measure the bolt spacing (have a look on Sheldon Brown's
    site) and then get some more rings. You don't need to get biopace, just
    ordinary cheap round ones. LBS or one of the mail order shops like CRC,
    Wiggle or Spa.
