Replacement 32 T Octalink Chainring or whole crankset?
Who has alu chainrings cheap? I figure out it is the middle chain ring that jumps by getting on a hill and standing on the pedals. No jumping or skipping on the small or large chainring. Looking to do a cheap fix. (I replaced the chain, it was 12-1/4 inch! Also the rear cluster.) Bike is a used Raleigh Talus 8.0.
Post # 7 I tried to clarify a bit)
(Sidenote: most of my riding will be low-gear on Singletracks, not much gravel or time will be spent in the large chainring. Also it didn't take the brand new chain long to rust - just a couple rides this winter and bucket wash when done. Sheesh)
Cranks are Shimano Octalink MC361 42 - 32 - 22 T, BCD 104 / 64 mm
Addendum: 2010 Talus, 8 speed. MC361 on the bike specs, but I could only find Shimano Tech docs for FC-M361
