UK Bespoke chainring manafacture

Post by NorwichVelo »

Hi does anybody know if there is anyone in the UK who can make bespoke chainrings?

What with CNC there must be someone?

Being custom AND in Australia it's not going to be cheap is it.

The topic has been raised before and posters have resorted to having custom chainrings made by a local laser cutter.
This post may be useful to you - viewtopic.php?f=5&t=72711
:wink:

And if you are handy it's not difficult to attack a chainring with a hacksaw and a drill to reprofile it to fit a different standard. I have resorted to this to make chainrings for 86 BCD stronglight cranks as necessary. :wink:
At the last count:- Peugeot 531 pro, Dawes Discovery Tandem, Dawes Kingpin X3, Raleigh 20 stowaway X2, 1965 Moulton deluxe, Falcon K2 MTB dropped bar tourer, Rudge Bi frame folder, Longstaff trike conversion on a Giant XTC 840 :D

Here's the relevant page at Specialités TA, which obviously doesn't tick your "in the UK" box. (You may have to scroll down.)

I suspect it costs more than a replacement chainset. :shock:

Highpath Engineering used to do this, but it looks as if they now only do crank modifications.
