If you want MUSA chainrings that are reasonably priced, comes in black and silver and wide variety of bcds, check out Vuelta.  A non ramped and pinned110bcd in 44t is $25:

Note - Vuelta makes chainrings under a variety of names like Willow, Engagement, Dimension, Salsa and Silver. Good Luck!

Thanks, Ron and Brewster -- will archive this for later. As it happened, I scrounged a 38 from my visiting brother and slapped that on, so that I now have these drivetrains:

38/24 with (seriatim, Kojaks and Big Apples):

12-13-14-15-16-18-21-26, for 86" down to 25" with the cruising gears of 69 and 65 in the #4 and #5 cogs; and

(still debating, but something like): 13-15-17-18-21-26-34 for 85" down to 20" and the 17 and 18 cogs at 65" and 61". May go 13-15-16-17-18-20-23-26-34 or ... 20-24-38-34 for slightly closer gaps on the low end, but don't think so.

I'll try this, and if I don't like it, will go back to 44/36/24 seven.

Bash guards?

In terms of bashguards, this guy is awesome:

$20 shipped, made in Oregon, tons of sizes/colors.   Had one on a fixed gear for a while.

That's what I want. Thanks. Interesting to see that 110 is surviving in cyclocross. Will try the 38/24 out for a while first before sending, but that's the one I want.

A listmember has generously offered 5 9-sp spacers; still nead 11 more .... One defect (every gearing arrangement is a compromise) of what is basically a 1X8 is that, in order to get the cruising cogs in the middle of the cassette, I have to space them out from the end with more small cogs than I really need for real world riding -- eg, to get the 15 and 16 in the #4 and #5 places, I must use a 12, 13 and 14 in the first places, and I don't really need the 12. Since I like close gaps between say 60" and 75" -- 80", this means that everything smaller than the 65" has to be distributed over just three cogs, this with the 8 speed cassette. One more would break this 25" gap down very nicely, instead of 18-21-26, say 18-20-24-30. (Wake up, screed* is finished.)

Forgot, of course: Can trade a still quite good 36, OEM XD2 middle, for spacers.
