    what is the BCD of the dmr ring? and what is your current crank BCD?

    the crank arm is 7 cm between centres, and the dmr ring is 10.5 cm between centres.

    Thanks

    thanks for the link ill remeasure the chainring. im looking to replace the cranks so im not too bothered about them. i was thinking of getting hollowtechs or the race face version.
