Chainring Replacements

    Hi Guys,

    Know very little about chainrings and was going to replace a FSA super road 130mm BCD 53/39 with like for like.

    Best price I've seen is 83 Euro including shipping at:

    https://www.bike24.net/1.php?product=21765;dbp=12;page=1;content=8;navigation=1;menu=1000,4,122;mid=77

    Does quality vary a lot with rings ? Anybody know of rings around this price point that offer better value either in terms of cost, weight, durability or performance ?
    These FSA chainrings are not particularly durable. They got worn out completely in less than a year (the outer ring). I would recommend Sram or Shimano or something else as better alternatives. I would go with whichever are more cost effective.

    I have a FSA chainring 53 it was on my timetrial bike for about 8 months changed to an aero ring. Oviously the milage is very low on it.

    Have been reading up on these they seem to be very highly regarded. Trying to decide on my options with Power2max and if I don't go with a sram crankset and rings I'll get a rotor 3d crankset with these rings.

    I'd be very happy with these but I'm mulling over my options of upgrading to force22 or getting a new bike with it so probably more economical to get the crankset as part of that and stick with sram 11 speed rings though Praxis say they are compatible and I've seen a few comments they work well with 11 speed.

    Have FSA gossamer cranks at the minute and I must say I've never been mad about the look of them and the rings do seem fairly worn for the mileage on them.

    The 130 rings are not listed at the minute but they were last week assume they will be getting them back in stock.

    Perfect, this was exactly the type of response was looking for, just placed an order with them for the Praxis BCD 130, 53/39 chain ring set.

    I actually bought the rotor 3d power meter from them a few months ago and took the FSA chainrings of a Gossamer crankset and put them on. So now can put them back on the original gossamer crankset and put the praxis rings on the PM (which is probably more in keeping with the quality of the rotor crankset).

    BTW saw this

    which gave interesting reading
