I have a TA Zephyr triple crank that I'm trying to get chainrings together for. I have a 48. I'm looking to pick up a 38 and either 24, 26 or 28 for the inner.
The 38 needs to be 110 BCD. The inner (24, 26, or 28) needs to be 74 BCD. I have a 33 tooth (110 BCD) that I can trade, but I am also willing to just buy what I need, or sell the 33. Get in touch if interested.
