What middle chainring ?

[Trevor_S]

Hi guys, we're in Camboida at the moment, more about that here

We're doing some riding, pics of my girl doing some XC (highest model bike she could find here)

Anyway, enough of that. Looking to get some parts for the bike and am unsure about the middle chainring ? Currently have one labelled

Shimano
M9
N-32
104pcv

I am not sure what the hell that is though, can I put this one on as a replacement ?

If not, a link to the right one at CRC would be great and/or an explanation of how to read the part number so I know what to look for

Please don't say go to the LBS They don't even sell lube, using recycled engine oil from a water bottle is there thing.

We have a mate looking after our place in Northern NSW, he is doing an awesome job building stuff for our MTB trail there

Not sure what model crankset is on the bike but it looks like the middle chainwheel is a 9 speed, 32 tooth, 104mm PCV from your description, so if it is a bolt on (as opposed to broached or riveted on), yes.

Love the reflectors

Chainring should be fine, has the same labels if you zoom in on the CRC picture.

Ha ha, yeah, she rides home at night some time from where she "works"... anyone who has ever ridden in Cambodia knows what a crap shoot that can be" I took them off mine and she wanted them on her's She wanted to "standout" of course, the problem she faces is that any many many Cambodians ride around at night on their scooters, with no light on... no light, no reflect ... never mind... makes you pay attention ALL the time

You can see in this second shot BEFORE she had me put my discarded reflectors on :eyebrows:

That's he highest level bike you can get here in Sihanoukville, the aptly Giant "Snap", and you can only get that because the dues go across the border and bring them in from Thailand and the biggest frame size they had was a small. Size issues and the build quality is so shitty I said fark that, (the stiction on the rubber band forks is bullshit !) went up to Phnom Penh, hunted down a Giant Talon HT put it in a tuk tuk and came back to Sihanoukville. Just buying a bike over here is an adventure
