  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.

    cheers, clive

    I loathed and detested Powerlink until today when I finally
    discovered=20 how it works. Would it really kill SRAM to
    include little piuctures of=20 how to unclip it with the
    powerlink? Squeeze the plates together...=20 that's all. No-

    telling me how much better they are than Shimano!
