Has anyone else found differences in Q and chainline among the 50.4 cranksets?
I swapped in a Sugino PX with shorter crank arms in for a V-O, and found less
clearance to the chainstays on both sides- at least 2mm per side.
I prefer the look of the rare Sugino, and sorted front derailleur
Thanks everyone for all the feedback. Really hard decision overall. I ended
up ordering the SUNXCD cranks in 172.5 and 46/30 from veloduo. I really
wanted 44/30 or 44/28 but that range was out of stock. I almost went for
the cloverleaf chainring version as they had the gear range I wanted but I
Yes, I'm currently running chainrings without ramps and pins with a 10
speed cassette and indexed shifting in the back. No issues, or at least,
nothing that's an issue for me.
I don't have the 50.4BCD setup (and would not be interested in acquiring it
as my body requires high Q) as per the
I have the Rene Herse 42/26 (ramped and pinned) on my Rivendell Custom (11
speed), the VO with VO single chainring on the Betty Foy (9 speed) and Sun
XCD with VO single chainring on my Mystery Bike/Protovelo/Protopaloosa
(single speed). The finish on the Rene Herse and the Sun XCD are
15 years ago or so when I regularly commuted across town by bike, and
before I went full-fixed-gear, I used a very nice pseudo half-step system
with either 48/45 or 47/44 Sugino chainrings and a (IIRC) 13-32 7 speed
cassette, for a downhill gear, a bailout gear, and nice close ratios in the

I have them from TA and Stronglight, though not for every bolt
Aside from 39T inners on 130/135 BCD cranks, does *any* manufacturer offer
odd toothcount chainrings as a regular stock item these days?

*Very* good to know.

Just a point of clarity here:
Rene Herse and Grand Bois are two distinct companies (RH did sell Grand Bois
products in the past)
Grand Bois sell SUNXCD cranks and compatible rings.

I've been running 3x9 with a TA crank and a Stronglight for years without
any issues. I also ran 3x10 for a while. Currently have 47/44/26 TA and
50/45/26 Stronglight (with TA rings) and they both shift quite well with no
ramps and pins. What are those for? I think the Stronglight arms *had

We've been importing Specialites TA products for the past 5 years, and

The key things to remember with 50.4 hardware are that the bolts are
fragile, and the wavy lockwashers are worthless. Be gentle with the hex
spanner, and generous with the blue Loctite. VO's hardware is definitely
more rugged (as I'm confident TA's current hardware is as well - the
Peter: Thanks for posting this; good to know that TA is still making 50.4
bcd rings. I have a minor stash of old Pro 5 Vis arms and, while I'd
eagerly trade one for a RH crank with rings of my liking, I do find them
almost perfect for my wants (well, would happily replace the hardware with

Large selection of chainring sizes? *C'est très humoristique!*
Specialites TA (still in business; still producing 50.4mm cyclotouriste
chainrings in France, now in 7075 aluminum) make outers (attaches to
crankarm) in all even increments from 40-52T, and inners (attaches to
outers) from 26-42T.
I went with the Rene Herse cranks when I built up my Sam due to the large
selection of chainring sized (I went with 44/28). The Sun XCD cranks
weren't around at the time, though I do run a XCD rear derailleur. The
7075 chainrings (VO and RH) may be a harder alloy than the 6066 on the XCD.
oops, its only 3x cranks not 4x like it suggests above. Should be:
Velo Orange Grand Cru, vs SUNXCD vs Rene Herse Grand Bois
