Shimano Altus Hyperdrive C

[kruzer]

Hello! If I wanted to replace a chainring or two, am I right in thinking in this case I'd need a whole new crankset? An old Altus Hyperdrive C on a bike I've just acquired, with no apparent way of getting a chainring off....

Yes, new crank required, you had to go to Altus C20 before you got replaceable rings back in the day

Oh la la - thanks, grandefromage. Thanks, also, boxxer! While I'm popping questions.... any idea what modern-day Shimano crankset would fit? It's an old '90s Marin Bolinas Ridge.....

Wait, does a 1997 US recall still apply (in the UK)?
