Hey,
I'm fixing up my buddy's bike but I've run into a bit of a snag. His bike is a 2001 Specialized CX Comp: http://www.bikepedia.com/quickbike/...001&Brand=Specialized&Model=CX+Comp&Type=bike
He's never changed any of his drivetrain components, and the sprockets and chain rings were quite worn down, so I decided to overhaul them. I was able to order a cassette through the local Y's, but they're having trouble finding replacement chain rings. Is there something special about the Sugino RD5000 so that run-of-the-mill Shimano chain rings wouldn't fit? Do I have to replace the whole crankset? The BB seems in okay working order, so I'd prefer to keep it.
Any advice welcome.
