My MTB has a riveted triple ring chainset/crankset and I need to replace it. It is a Suntour SR 180 XR with 24/34/42 teeth. My bike is 21 speed.
Two questions:
1 : Is it in any way feasible to drill out the rivets on the chain rings and replace with discrete chain rings?
2: I have looked online to see what is available in cranksets. The specs of some products indicate that they are suitable for 9 speed. So does the crankset have to match the rear sprockets? Does this have something to do with chain ring spacing?
