mates rates, I have no use for it. The 39 is on my SS, and I'm never
going to run a 53 on that

Unfortunately I'm in Canberra, but I'll keep it in mind. Doesn't look
too bad in that photo. However, I'm also replacing the cassette and
chain at the same time, so a brand new set of rings would be the smart
option. Many thanks.

Hey Lama,

I ended up buying some replacements from Chain Reaction Cycles. They
had exactly what I wanted at a good price (although not currently in
stock!). Many thanks for your kind offer.

Anyone here have experience with Token products or specifically these
chainrings??

Not chainrings, but the Token BB I had had bearings made from cheese.

Is that fair? From the look of their website, they make a range from
cheap to high end, and their products are widely rebadged by other
'manufacturers'. Did you get a cheap one and hence get what you paid
for?

Nope high end.

A had a high-end Scandium Token ISIS BB. The axle broke after about a
year of use and I'm not a heavyweight. Apparently it has happened to
other people.

I've gone the other way to Parbs and got a cheapy VP BB off ebay. I can
get about 4 or 5 of these for one SKS.

Another option is to get Enduro bearings to replace the existing ones
on a mid-range Truvativ whose bearings are stuffed. The Enduros should
last longer.

Or go for an external bearing crankset.

You'll get a lot more than that for the price I paid - I think I've sold
my soul to Elvis.
