Does anyone know: a) anywhere that sells replacement XTR M980 chainrings? (not even CRC, Merlin or Wiggle have them listed which says alot)and, b) whether XTR M970 middle chainrings will fit the M980 triple crankset?
Cheers in advance.
I got a complete set from Rose bikes. earlier in the year for £144.45 delivered.
They both are 104 BCD so the rings should fit (It's the M985 that has the weird BCD).
actionsports.de have the rings in stock according to their web site...
I have a set of 42/32/24 M980 chainrings for sale - 42 unused, 24 barely touched, 32 with very light use - email in profile.
I've got a 38t and 26t brand new that are available. Never been used at all as I took them off to go 1x10. They're the 104 BCD ones so will fit a 980 chainset.
Email me on matthew@screamingjaffa.co.uk if you're interested.
in case anyone else is looking, i was also suprised to fine the usual suspects with no m980 chainrings, CRC, Wiggle, Merlin, Evans, no body have them.
i have ordered from Fawkes cycles, (via Amazon oddly).
I have a full set FS, about 50-80 miles summer use, no marks. Tried them out then used the cranks SS. Open to a reasonable offer. james.olsen.remote at hotmail.co.uk.
Mine, as mentioned above, are still available.
Freeborn cycles list them, you have to contact them for availability though.
If you make the mistake of urgently ordering XTR chainrings from Fawkes cycles. you may find a week later that you are chainringless. and potentially going to miss/be insufficiently geared for a perfect snowy ride in the hills, and are starting to have concerns that chainring will arrive in time for the Strathpuffer.
Top tip, the old XTR 9 speed small chainring, fits perfectly and works perfectly!
bikediscount.de were cheapest and delivered within the week.
Got some FS too here:
