SRAM Rival AXS chainring upgrade

[alanashd]

Hello, looking to upgrade SRAM Rival AXS chainrings. Currently riding with 48-35, but would love 50-37 or so.
Do you have any reccomendations that works great? Not looking to upgrade crankset itself as I'm currently happy with bike's weight & just bought Quarq PM upgrade lol.

Since your Roval crank, can't mount directly 8 bolts, you have a few options.
Rotor oval rings/they have bothe 50-37; 48-35...
I had a great success with these on Force AXS. You have to use a wedge between derailleur and mount...

Carbon Ti chainrings, expensive and difficult to set up properly...
They have all sizes.

Stone chainrings on Ali Express.
Not sure about their shift quality.

Not sure of any others.

Of course you can put the old Force AXS chainrings they come in 48-35, but no bigger size and not sure if it's worth it.

You are limited with Rival crank, period.
GL, cheers

It might be worth it to you to sell the 2x rival crank and get a 1x rival crank to pair with the rival PM you bought (1x DS + standard road power NDS). That will give you an 8 bolt standard width rival power meter crank. Then you can use anything that takes an 8 bolt spider or get the newer Force chainrings.

Save the Rival crank for a gravel build and get a Red crank or something else. Seems like you’re limited with the Rival group.

I was in your boat (except with pedal power meters) and i replaced the rival cranks and chainrings with red cranks and a 50T aero chainring. The rival stuff is in the garage. As other have said, I had trouble finding good ring options and the rival stuff was heavier than I wanted.
