8 Speed Chainset

Can anyone recommend me a chainset for my brother in law's Carerra Vulcan. After the winter he's getting a fair bit of chainsuck and looking at the drivetrain it's a bit worse for wear 
I'm guessing buying the whole thing will be cheaper than the individual chainrings?

Is the chain sticky, suck can be chain wheel or chain....
You can pick up wheels pretty cheap, especailly if he only needs a couple, probably worth looking at each in turn, otherwise CRC do a full Deore crank/wheel and BB for £50 that will see him sorted for a while!.

The whole lot has had it. Looks like a set of shark fins on his chainrings. None of it has ever been replaced and he's had it for 2 years. How will the deore chainset hold up on an 8 speed system?0

The chainset on the Vulcan can't be taken apart - it's a fixed unit. You'll have to replace the whole thing rather than just one or two chainrings. (Assuming it's the Truvativ xflow they spec on them these days)0

9 speed chainsets are fine with 8 speed parts.0
