Right My middle chain ring has worn down on my triple. I don't want to spend loads on a chain ring as my group set is only a cheap one to start off with. I've found a chain ring that's the right BCD and is for a 8 speed set up but it says that it's for a double set up am I right in thinking that as long as its the right BCD and tooth count it will work.


Thanks
Mark.

    Sorry about the poor spelling auto correct on my phone is a pain.

    Should be absolutely fine as in most cases the inner (smallest) chainring mounts on a smaller completely separate set of mounting points. It is probably only listed as an '8 speed' as it is a bit older but it shouldn't make any difference when used on a 9 speed set up or even a 10 speed.

    It's possible that the middle chainring for a triple will have ramps / pins to help the chain climb up from the inner ring. I imagine the one you've found will work, just maybe not as smoothly.
