New chainring advice

Dipsomaniac

Hi all.

I’m looking for some advice please.

Managed to destroy the 50t chainring on my month old roadlite 6.

I trying to source a replacement but each time I put in an order I’m told it won’t be in stock until 25th May, which is way too long for me to wait.

It’s a FC-5750-L Chainring 50T F-Type (black)

I checked a compatibility chart on the canyon website and it seems the 5650 version is not compatible.

For the 6750, interchangeability is stated as Parts are usable, but differ in materirals, appearance, finish, size, etc.

I found the 6750 chainring for 67 sterling not including delivery.

Another option is to splash out for the 5750 crankset delivered for 118 euro.

Are there any other options available to me?

Thanks for your help,

Lumen

Thanks again Lumen. Your very quick at this.

Forgot to mention I got the same responce for delays from petra cycles as well

Would the Stronglight be compatible and good replacement?

Sorry, I'm new to all this.

Also the Dura Ace goes up to 100 euro with the 50 t and I’m not sure if it'll look the part even though I presume its a very good component

As far as I know, with chainrings for double chainsets you only have to worry about BCD, width and number of bolts.

So anything listed as "10sp", "110BCD", "five arm" and "outer" will do.

I have some Stronglight chainrings sitting on my desk. They look nice.

For the latter generation of shimano cranks I don't think that's true. In fact I think it's untrue. That's right, Lumen is wrong.

I think with 6700 and 7900 (or the compact variants) the chainring nuts are incorporated into the chainring itself. This makes replacing chainrings with something after-market a bit of a pain as you may need to replace both rings. I'm fairly sure I saw an ad in a French mag for TA chainrings that are 6700 clones but I can't remember for sure.

Yeah, TA are an aftermarket alternative to Shimano's own, but I'd imagine it's a lot easier to get a shimano one from somewhere.

Thanks for the help lescol.

Unfortunately Farnhamcycles had no option to delivery to Ireland so I emailed them and they confirmed they dont.

Bikeshak had no option to delivery to Ireland. Awaiting email confirmation from them.

Madison are a distributor and from their FAQ they're unable to recommend any particular store for delivery outside UK. I will play around with the site and see if I can get some more ideas.

Thanks anyway

Thanks Lumen and Niceonetom.

A bit confused now.

I'm thinking the crankset might be the way to go. The 6750 would probably look a little strange.

This bike thing is getting expensive. Ah well:D

Bikeshak got back to me and they do delivery to Ireland and have it in stock.

I ended up putting Ireland in the postcode as the country had to be filled in using the dropdown with the only choice of United Kingdom.

So now the delivery address ends with Ireland,United Kingdom:eek:

Cheers everyone for the help.

If you want to wait 4 or 5 weeks I'll be selling (€100) my compact chainset 5750 that's coming on my roadlite 6 when I get it. I'm putting a standard double on it.

Can't imagine you'd want to wait that long though!

Thanks for the offer Hungrycol. I think I'd go insane with just half a compact for that lenght. It would be good training though. Have the order in now so I'm happy.
