VeloSolo CNC Road and Track Chainring ANODIZED - 130mm BCD 1/8" gold back in stock!
As with our Disc and Track cogs these are CNC machined exclusively for VeloSolo by the UK's leading aftermarket motorcycle sprocket engineering company. Precision machined from heat treated high strength 4.0mm thick 7075-T6 aircraft grade aluminium alloy rather than the industry standard 3.0mm or 3.5mm. No offset so reversible without affecting chainline for longer life.
Very stiff and very strong. Teeth are hobbed the old fashioned way for superb finish and performance. Classic style with machined cut-outs. Minimal lead chamfer and full height teeth with no cut-outs or 'shift pins' give perfect engagement with the chain. Designed for singlespeed and track use, not for geared bikes. The 135mm BCD is ideal for converting a classic Campag 53/39 square taper road crank (Centaur, Veloce, Record etc) to a single ring for fixed/singlespeed use.
Variations include 130mm BCD in 1/8" or 3/32" width and 135mm and 144mm BCD in 1/8" only. The 1/8" width has nearly 50% more contact area for driving the chain than the 3/32". All BCD's available in sizes 44t, 46t and 48t.
New size in 47t now available - great for multiple skid patches. Anodized black (130mm BCD in 1/8" also available in gold option, see note below regarding 3/32"). Black only for 135mm BCD and 144mm BCD. All chainrings available in custom polished too (see below). All with laser engraved logo. Please see this page for sample weights of VS components. Please see FAQ for chainring bolt advice and how to measure BCD etc.
IMPORTANT: VeloSolo 3/32" chainrings have a tooth thickness of 2.3mm and are therfore NOT compatible with 9 speed or 10 speed chains. However, our new production is being made compatable with 9/10 speed and this listing will be updated as stock arrives.
£29.95 + UK shipping at £2.50 EU £3.50 (add £1) WORLD £5.50 (add £3)
Note: 130mm BCD 3/32" gold option discontinued (a few 3/32" 46t and 48t gold are still available)
VeloSolo CNC Road and Track Chainring POLISHED
Exact same chainrings as above but in custom polished finish. High quality full polishing to both sides including inside cut-outs etc. Same laser engraved logos as above. Please note that traditionally polished items may tarnish over time due to weather, normal use etc and may require cleaning or re-polishing - we recommend 'Peek' (easily found on eBay).
As above, the polished 135mm BCD is ideal for converting a classic Campag 53/39 square taper road crank (Centaur, Veloce, Record etc) to a single ring for fixed/singlespeed use. Or if you have a Shimano (Ultegra, Dura Ace etc) road chainset choose the 130mm BCD.
New size in 47t now available - great for multiple skid patches.

VeloSolo 'Campag Proto' 39t Chainring
We are manufacturing a short run of these to gauge interest. In one size only of 39t and with a BCD of 135mm for Campagnolo chainsets. Width is 3/32" but unlike our other rings these are machined down to 1.9mm so usable as part of a 1 x 8, 1 x 9, 1 x 10 set-up or as a singlespeed ring. Still made from the same 4.0mm thick 7075-T6 aircraft grade aluminium alloy.
No offset and non-countersunk bolt holes (some cranks may require double chainring bolts rather than single) so reversible without affecting chainline for longer life. Perfect for road use when paired with a 14t, 15t or 16t rear cog or for those who love Campag on their SS MTB a 19t on the rear gives the ideal offroad ratio with lots of chain wrap.
Minimal lead chamfer and full height teeth with no cut-outs or 'shift pins'. 25 lightening holes, weight approximately 65g. Currently available in anodized black or silver.

Royce NOS 144mm BCD Polished Track Chainring - NEW!
As with the Sugino and SR rings below these are a recent and very rare warehouse find. Many riders will remember Royce as a highly respected niche UK component manufacturer in the 80's and 90's, primarily known for bottom brackets (supplying the BB for Chris Boardman's '92 Olympic Gold Medal bike).
Back in the day (early 1980's manufacture) these chainrings were aimed at Campag Super Record customers. Like our own VeloSolo rings these have a traditional look and are finished in natural polished. They are quite cutaway and very light (45t is 56g). Width is 3/32" and BCD is 144mm only. Very limited stock available with 43t, 45t, 46t and 51t. Usable with a 3/32" or 1/8" chain.
Note: being genuine NOS these have been in a warehouse for over 30 years. Generally they are in superb condition but some may have some light tarnish in places or the odd small scratch or blemish.

Japan made model and while stocks last these come complete with the original packaging of a plastic wallet marked 'Sugino, Osaka Japan' etc.

VeloSolo CNC Singlespeed MTB Chainring ANODIZED
As with our road rings the VeloSolo mountain bike chainrings are precision machined from the same heat treated high strength 4.0mm thick 7075-T6 aluminium alloy for extra strength. No offset so reversible without affecting chainline for longer life.
Very stiff and very strong. Teeth are hobbed the old fashioned way for superb finish and performance. Classic style with machined cut-outs on 34t and 36t. The 32t is drilled rather than 'slotted'. Minimal lead chamfer and full height teeth with no cut-outs or 'shift pins' give perfect engagement with the chain. Designed for singlespeed mountain bike use; on or off-road.
Available in 4 bolt 104mm BCD and 1/8" or 3/32" thicknesses. Choose 1/8" with matching 1/8" chain for a superb long lasting and strong set-up for typical UK off-road conditions (the 1/8" width has nearly 50% more contact area for driving the chain than the 3/32"). Available in three tooth counts of 32t, 34t and 36t. Finished in anodized black and gold or custom polished. All with laser engraved logo. Please see this page for sample weights of VS components. Please see FAQ for chainring bolt advice and how to measure BCD etc.
IMPORTANT: VeloSolo 3/32" chainrings have a tooth thickness of 2.3mm and are therfore NOT compatible with 9 speed or 10 speed chains. However, our new production is being made compatable with 9/10 speed, at present this includes current stock of 32t and 34t in GOLD only.

The standard ratio for off-road singlespeeding is 2:1 so use with a 16t (32) or 18t (36) or maybe a 14t with the 36 or 40 for a faster gear when mainly on-road.

SR Suntour MTB/Hybrid/Road Singlespeed Chainset - NEW!
We often get asked for a singlespeed chainset usable with an MTB frame (all our other chainsets are really designed for narrow chainstay road/track frames) so we now have this SR Suntour model in our range. It's a really strong no-nonsense build with a steel chainring for long life and a CNC machined chainguard.
Arm length is 170mm with black powder coated finish and laser engraving. Crank bolts are included. Chainring is a 44t 3/32" and usable with any chain from singlespeed 3/32" and 1/8" to 3/32" 8/9/10 speed so this can also be used as part of a 1 x 9 speed drivetrain or similar. BCD is 104mm so easily swapped for a smaller chainring if your use is more off-road.
This is a very adaptable chainset with spacers fitted behind the chainring - by moving these and removing the chainguard you can vary the position of the ring or even convert this to a double chainset.
As usual at VeloSolo we are sticking with square taper fittings as they are tried and trusted, easy to fit and most importantly allow easy adjustment of chainline by varying the BB length to suit the desired set-up. On this model the recommended BB length for a road or hybrid frame is 118mm for an approximate 46mm chainline. You can of couse fit a shorter BB to suit a narrower chainline, clearance permitting. On a MTB frame with wider chainstays and to provide clearance for the 44t chainring we suggest a 122mm BB. See FAQ for more advice or email if you are unsure.

Self-Extracting Crank Bolts - SPECIAL OFFER!
By using these instead of regular crank bolts you will not need a crank extractor tool to remove your chainset. However, these do require care in use. The 'cap' screws into the crank arm over the bolt, undoing the bolt allows the shoulder of the bolt to pull against the cap removing the arm. These have a hardened steel bolt with a lightweight aluminium cap. For use with any square taper bottom bracket and cotterless chainset. Sold as a pair. Requires 8mm and 10mm allen keys for installation.
Important: To avoid damage please ensure these are fitted correctly. If the cap bolts are not properly fitted to your crank arms you may damage your crank threads. The crank threads must be perfectly clean and undamaged. Grease the thread of the bolt, install into the crank arm and pop the plastic washer on top (no grease). Using a 10mm allen key or hex wrench fully tighten the alloy cap into the arm with Loctite or similar. Install the crank as normal with an 8mm allen key.

Zenith Chainring Bolts for Single Chainrings
Set of five chainring bolts as above but in stainless steel.

Additional Shipping Units for International Shipping
Paypal's basic shopping cart does not calculate international shipping (please see shipping page for full details). If buying from outside the UK please add the extra shipping required via these 'shipping units'. For example, a cog costs £14.95 and UK shipping at £1.95 will be included. For delivery outside the UK shipping is £2.95 (£1.00 extra) so if you purchase a cog from Europe or USA etc you will also need to purchase a £1.00 shipping unit.
If you are unsure simply place the order as required and we will advise of any additional shipping costs necessary. Alternatively, if you would like an exact quote for shipping or a detailed Paypal invoice before making a purchase please email and we will be happy to help.
