Replacement chainrings for XTR

The Big Cheese

I want to replace the chainrings on my XTR M960 chainset (XTR 2003) to something a little harder and lighter

Any recommendations out there - would be better if I could purchase them as a set - CRC has so many options I am confused! :?

these look pretty good to me - a bit pricey but...

Get one of the M970 cranks

check what your BCD is on your cranks.

is it the same? shimano had fun with the XTR BCD's and now they are back to normal 104mm for this year iirc.

Sorry Nick - you've lost me with the last post?

Bolt Circle Diameterthe diameter of a circle through the center of your 4 chain ringbolts.

look at the CRC link you gave it states that those rings are for a 64mm, 102mm and 146mm BCD.

look on Shimanos webby and see what yours are.

Thanks Nick,

This is from the Shimano webby:

Bolt Circle Diameter 146/102/64mm so looks all AOK!
