Hi

Finally making the move to compact. Anyone got an SRAM 50/34 175 chainset that wants a standard SRAM 53/39?

Thanks

Might know someone.I'll ask him.
What sort of use has your chainset had.???

What sram model is it??

FWIW I'm buying a new groupset shortly (Rival or Force) and don't need the groupset crankset, so could possibly order you the specific crankset you want and pass on at reasonable discount.

Hi

It's been in use since last summer. Very little use until February, been out twice a week since then for 3 hour rides. Adding that up about 800km.
It's an SRAM Force model.
Lumen,many thanks. I don't mind paying for a compact just surprised at the online prices.

Sure, I just suggested it because it's significantly cheaper to buy as part of a complete groupset.

edit: that's no necessarily true. I just found that shinybikes.com are selling component parts that add up to about the same price as the groupset. The chainset is £159.95 from both shinybikes and J E James, €230.75 from CRC.

SRAM Force

Its standard bb I presume (not BB30).

Yes, standard.

I'll declare myself out of this.
My friend bought a bike with a rival compact a few weeks back and hated the compact at first-he loves it now though.
