Hi
I'm wanting to swap my 48t chainring for a 42t. I know the pomp needs a 5 bolt chain ring to go with the truvativ cranks (i can count ;-)

... but does it need to be ATB or CD and what's the difference?? I'm also assuming a MTB chainring will work fine.

This is the chainring I'm looking at:

Will it work - any other recommendations?

Thanks
Alex

    The critical measurement is the BCD (bolt circle diameter) which will be 130mm if your Pomp has the same Truvativ Elita crankset as mine.

    I've just remembered I've got a 40T from SJS. http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/product-Thor ... -11055.htm

    Aha! Thanks for the info & link

    When you say you've got a 40t is that one you're using or one to sell/swap?

    Cheers

    I use 48 but the 40 came with the bike and I'm keeping it in case I decide to go offroad or tackle some steep hills.

    Yep, you want a standard *road* Shimano pattern, 130mm bolt circle. Goes down to a 38t inner. Parkers, Ribble, SJS, (shop even!), etc.
