Trade: Finding magic gear, Chainring needed

Hope someone can help with a trade off to finally get my problem fixed on the road.

So my headache can be over if someone comes up trumps and wants my TA Specialites 1/8 44t 135mm 5bolt chain ring in pretty good condish, not much wear in exchange for.....

1/8 135mm 5bolt 47t in similar state but i'll probably take a shagged one right now to get the chain on!

forgot to mention i'm in east london so can meet you most places... providing its not the arse end of nowhere! cheers

It maybe easier to swap your rear cog. I know its a pain with the locking ring, but opens the search up because of the aesthetics of the ring and bcd of poeples cranks. Just a suggestion.

nice one neilp, I have a 17t rear and a 44t chainring, the 'magic' combinations I can fit are:
53x14, 43x13, 45x15, 47x17, 49x19

so im open to suggestions, seems difficult to get hold of a 135mm 1/8 ring because i think most track bcd is 144mm, dont really want to go with 3/32 if i dont have to

No worry's. If your willing to run a very slightly lower GI then you could ask for a 15T rear. then you could run with the 44T you already have. You may loose maybe 2 inches top's. Just a thought to make it easy for you. Im not sure because the skid patch calculator i used wasnt as good as the one someone had previous posted else where but 44/15t may be a better ration for wear. I would check that though

thats actually a good call, but will it not be too slack if i go one tooth smaller on the chain side with 44x15, i guess its suck it and see, nothing to lose.

So now looking for a 15t rear cog in exchange for my 17t Andel which is brand new, its been fitted but never used, or if anyone has a 15t 1/8 for sale??

have you tried using a half link? in my experience they're great for this sort of problem.
