I have a couple of late-80s early-90s sets of shimano MTB cranks I'd need to re-purpose as triple chainsets:-
and wondering if anyone knows a good source of steel or new alloy pattern part rings as anything new shimano 5 bolt seems hard to find or expensive.
I'm always a bit sceptical of used alloy rings as they are usually more worn than they first look in my experience, but used steel rings are probably worth considering as they last ages. - but happy to look at cost-effective sets of either new or used / Shimano or unbranded.
thanks
