Changing chain ring ?

[GazRN]

Has anyone changed their chain ring ?

What motor are you running? Bosch you need a special spider tool, Specialized a puller or very thin spanners. I believe the same with Shimano

I have a Specialized with Brose Motor.

I went from the stock 32 to a 36, but LBS did job, need a puller & id changing from stock size need a new set of bolts & nuts, as stock thread into sprocket. the replacement I used did not have thread in sprocket. I think you could possibly go as large as a 38. unless you want to go smaller.

I changed mine myself, I put a hope narrow wide chain ring. 32t. I also have a 36t but I have not used this as yet.

I like the 36, I seem faster, I also get more use out of the stock gears, before with stock 32 I was always in the small half of rear cassette , not I get to use every gear more often .
but I suppose what suits riding style like one does not fit all .

To anyone using a 36t chainring - did you manage to find a replacement steel one or did you go for aluminium?

Thanks, my LBS wasn't too keen on fitting an aluminium one but good to hear you've not had any problems.
