Was just wondering if it's possible to go from 110-130BCD I got new Sram Red 53-39 chainring on the cheap so it would replace the 52-36 I have at the minute? Would save me buying a new Crankset??

Thanks

    not unless you have a replaceable spider on your cranks.

    Going from 52 to 53 is going to make next to no difference. I'm not sure I'd bother, tbh.

    But then I could use my Sram TT 54 on that as well! Might just buy a new BB so I can use use my 105 hollowtech cranks on my BB30 frame then eh?

    the answer is no, you can't get an adapter, you'd need a 130 BCD crank. Do you regularly find yourself undergeared on a 52T chainring anyway?

    Just buy a 38 instead. I run 52/38 on a 110 crank and it's close enough to 53/39 to not bother about.

    Yeh I'm under geared quite a bit on the flat! il just hold out and see if I can get crank arms to suit the Sram red Chainset probably the best option thanks for the help tho very much appreciated

    Not saying that I don't believe you or anything, but as I say I run a 52 and have an 11 on the back, and the only time I can spin out is on a 40mph+ downhill. Surely you're not doing that on the flat??
