Anyone here have experience with Token products or specifically these chainrings??
I need a new set to replace my 9 spd 105 rings which are looking a bit scary. Any other recommendations welcome.
Cheers,

yo bean... I've got a 53 from my 105 strip down laying around. It has a few good kms left in it. http://tinyurl.com/2lmpv7 my out of focus shot doesn't really do it justice 🙂

Thanks Lama, I'll keep it in mind. Also looking for a 39 or thereabouts.

Just out of interest, how many k's has it done and how much would you be asking? It's a bit hard to tell how worn (or not!) it is in the pic.

http://tinyurl.com/2e9epc Betterer pic - no idea what its worth... mates rates, I have no use for it. The 39 is on my SS, and I'm never going to run a 53 on that 🙂
Come grab if you like (kew), if it works well then paypal me a donation... if it doesnt work, throw it at your neighbours cat (*ducks and runs from cfsmtb*)

Unfortunately I'm in Canberra, but I'll keep it in mind. Doesn't look too bad in that photo. However, I'm also replacing the cassette and chain at the same time, so a brand new set of rings would be the smart option. Many thanks. -- Bean

Not chainrings, but the Token BB I had had bearings made from cheese.
Parbs
Don't say that, I just bought a Token crankset :-(.
Can you let me know how it goes?! :-)

Will do. It's the 200EX-AL MTB crankset but that just means if the bearings and chainrings are no good I'll find out quicker than I would if it was for the roady.
I actually bought it a month ago but I am not going to install it until my new frame arrives. So hopefully I'll have some feedback on shifting performance in a couple of weeks.

Nah, keep it for a few more months and piff it at the magpies.

Hey Lama,
I ended up buying some replacements from Chain Reaction Cycles. They had exactly what I wanted at a good price (although not currently in stock!). Many thanks for your kind offer.

Parbs
Is that fair? From the look of their website, they make a range from cheap to high end, and their products are widely rebadged by other 'manufacturers'. Did you get a cheap one and hence get what you paid for?

Nope high end.
Parbs - now the proud owner of an SKF BB[/QUOTE] A had a high-end Scandium Token ISIS BB. The axle broke after about a year of use and I'm not a heavyweight. Apparently it has happened to other people.
I've gone the other way to Parbs and got a cheapy VP BB off ebay. I can get about 4 or 5 of these for one SKS.
Another option is to get Enduro bearings to replace the existing ones on a mid-range Truvativ whose bearings are stuffed. The Enduros should last longer.
